Student ExchangeFor a fortunate few, the Grand Tour of Europe used to be an im-
portant part of education. More recently, other arrangements, such asthe Junior Year Abroad, have allowed selected students to live or studyfor a few months in another country. One program that is extensivelyused in Europe and deserves to be more widely known in the U.S. isIAESTE-the International Association for the Exchange of Studentsfor Technical Experience.
Under the IAESTE program, each member country offers temporaryemployment to engineering and science students from other countriesand in turn is permitted to select an approximately equal number of itsown students for temporary employment in other countries. Most of theexchange students work in industry, but some are placed in governmentlaboratories or universities. Employment is usually for a summer periodof 8 to 12 weeks but may run for as long as a year. The employer isexpected to pay the student a wage sufficient to cover his living expensesduring the working period and pays IAESTE a standard fee to help meetadministrative expenses. Placement of foreign students in American in-dustry and selection of American students for foreign assignments arehandled by IAESTE-U.S., 866 United Nations Plaza, New York, NewYork 10017.From the student's standpoint, the program provides an eagerly sought
opportunity to work for several months in another country, to earn mostof the expenses necessary for the trip, and to have a happy blend ofvocational, professional, and international experience. In Europe, thenumber of students exchanged has increased steadily from 920 in 1948,the first year of the program, to approximately 10,000 this year.
United States participation has remained fairly small, partly becausetransatlantic travel is more expensive than travel across a European bor-der, partly because many American students lack fluency in a secondlanguage, and chiefly because American employers do not offer enoughpositions for foreign students to earn as many places abroad as Americanstudents would like to fill.
This year 150 U.S. students are leaving American campuses for workin Europe, and a few for other parts of the globe. Twice this numberwanted to go, but half could not be accepted because the U.S. did notoffer enough positions to students from other countries.The employer considering this program must balance the cost of a
temporary employee against the stimulating effect of temporary associa-tion with a bright, inquiring young mind from a different scientific orengineering background. The U.S. companies which have participatedin the past appear to be well satisfied, for most continue to take partyear after year. And the number of positions they offer4 rog,I r&iei--are about 50 more this year than in 1965. The students who comei --,t
`
the U.S. under this program are advanced undergraduate or graduatestudents who are highly motivated to get first-hand acquaintance withAmerican industry and who are individually selected to fit the require-ments of the positions they fill. It is not surprising that they make goodtemporary additions to a company or laboratory staff.
Expansion of the program would seem desirable. The students benefit;the employer has a competent temporary addition to his staff; and thenation benefits from the better understanding of another country that theAmerican students bring back to the U.S. and the visitors take to theirhome countries.-DAEL WOLFLE
