Why to join us
Why it is worth joining us
A very positive aspect is the opportunity to exchange ideas and
cultural differences with other students from all over Europe, which
often result in international friendships. Another advantage is that
participating in the activities improves soft-skills, like
communicational and organizational skills and language proficiency.
Nowadays the university curricula do not contain any practice in these
skills. On the whole, EESTEC provides electrical engineering and
computer science students with a broader and more international view on
their possibilities and future responsibilities.
The primary aim of EESTEC is to promote and develop international
contacts and the exchange of ideas. To fulfill this aim traveling is
essential. Imagine the situation: you have spent five years at
university and you get your degree, you are a real engineer now, but
you have never been abroad all this time. Poor engineer... you have
definitely missed something. There are many good reasons for looking
abroad: you become more open-minded, you get to know new people, you
improve your English or other languages, you once see your own
environment's good and bad sides from another point of view and you
will have fun.
Some will ask now: How to do all this, if I can't afford it? For you, it means that you only have to pay for the travel costs.
