Info Meeting: Study Abroad in The Netherlands (Cycling Infrastructure Course)
Thursday, September 20th, 5 pm in Dow 875
Are you interested in studying abroad, but also want to get a summer internship? How about 16 days of bicycling around the world famous cycling infrastructure in The Netherlands (Netherlands where 27% of ALL their daily trips are made by bicycle and it’s easy riding – it is flat terrain!) where we will study bicycle infrastructure, work with students at a Dutch university, meet professionals who plan and design, and so much more? The course runs (pre-summer) May 19 – June 3 – plenty of time for you to get back for an internship. The course is offered out of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville’s Dept. of Civil & Environmental Engineering Department (by a professor who is a MTU Civil Engineering aluma), yet is available to students at other campuses, such as Michigan Tech, as well. This course can count toward professional electives for the MTU CEE students.
View the promotional video of the course to catch a glimpse of what you’ll get to experience.

Join us on a 16 day course cycling throughout The Netherlands while studying the world famous cycling infrastructure.

We will spend 16 days bicycling in large cities (Amsterdam, Zwolle, Utrecht, Houten, Rotterdam, Eindhoven) and small towns in The Netherlands. We will work with students and faculty at Windesheim University and professional designers and planners of the amazing Dutch cycling network. We travel within cities by bicycle and between cities using their sophisticated passenger rail system. This course will give you hands on experience using and understanding how a country creates safe cycling infrastructure. 27% of ALL trips in the Netherlands are made by bicycle! Take this course to experience that!
Explore The Netherlands in Europe while earning course credit!
*bonus – you can even extend your time in Europe by staying longer…come to the meeting to learn how! Grab your friends and backpack around Europe after the course is over – your airfare may even be cheaper!
Below is a flier that shows the course details. Note that the cost is listed at $3900 per person- this is the ‘high’ cost – as soon as there are at least 8 people signed up (the cap is 12 students), we can purchase our airline tickets and solidify the airfare, which will likely be lower than my budgeted amount. This cost includes the 3 credit course, round trip airfare from Chicago, 5 day Eurail pass, bicycle rentals, all hotels and hostels, all breakfasts, and bus transfers. Funds not spent will be refunded to you.

Interested in Space Mining, Robots? Mining Innovation Enterprise is looking for students of all majors and years to join our team.
If you are interested there are a couple of ways that you can join and find more information!
- We have weekly enterprise meetings on Tuesdays at 5pm in MEEM 1021 that you are more than welcome to come and sit in on.
- We will have an info session including a presentation and pizza on Thursday, September 13th from 4-6 PM in MEEM1021
We are currently working on 2 projects for prototype systems to design, build, and test for future use on Mars by NASA and others
- First is the rover (The MINER) a remotely controlled rover that will be able to carry designed attachments for field testing starting later this year.
- Second is a gypsum rock mining and water extraction system to attach to the rover which is part of our NASA Early Stage Innovation Research grant to extract water from hard rock gypsum on Mars.
- Depending on recruiting we can form a group to design and build a rover or rig to participate (and win) in one of two NASA lunar and mars excavation and water mining competitions which would include traveling to the sites to do the competition.
We have a need for skills and students interested in
- structural and mechanical design, machining, building, testing, fieldwork, hands-on experience
- electrical, power & control experience for the rover operation and remote control
- sensors, data collection and processing
- programming for the user interface and control of the rover and payload
- processing, fluids, particle flows, thermal aspects and energy efficiency
- system engineering, design process, optimization
- team management, fundraising, website design
You will be working in small interdisciplinary teams to work on subsystems of the rover and payload and work as an enterprise to get the systems designed and operational. We are looking for students to join as soon as possible!
You can also contact our faculty advisor, Paul van Susante, directly at pjvansus@mtu.edu or directly in his office, MEEM 925.
