- Barcelona, Spain
Students take a course with a UT professor and are concurrently placed in a part-time internship with diverse companies or laboratories of Barcelona's high level research and manufacturing base. Internships are for credit and conducted in English, but students who are proficient have the option of conducting their internship in Spanish. The engineering course introduces theory, methods, and applications related to medical image processing through project-based learning. Though we will discuss a range of applications, the focus will be on radiation oncology and leverage the scientific and clinical expertise in Barcelona to provide a context for the global significance of medical image analysis. Students experience the region's unique culture through program activities centered around food, art, music, and the region's natural beauty.
