ETHOS Opportunities
Domestic and International Community Engaged Learning
Throughout the academic year, The ETHOS Center, located in the School of Engineering at the University of Dayton, offers a variety of opportunities in which students can get involved. They include domestic and international breakouts, and semester-long local, domestic, and international immersions.
The ETHOS semester international and domestic immersions are internships centered on appropriate technology projects (sophomore and older). The ETHOS international and domestic breakouts give the student a taste of what the immersions have to offer and are open to all students.
A transformational experience that allows students to see the world in a new light. Students have the ability to participate in a technical immersion in a developing country. Travel groups typically consist of 2-3 students who work on appropriate projects for the region.
