Program Description
In this 6-week, 6 credit program, you’ll live at Notre Dame’s Roman Villa and attend class in Notre Dame’s Rome Global Gateway, just blocks from the Colosseum — both in the heart of Rome.
In addition to classes in the Rome Global Gateway, Notre Dame engineers participate in Papal audiences, tour the Colosseum, St. Peter’s, and Scavi and San Clemente.
You’ll also visit Orvieto, the small city perched on a rock cliff in Umbria. Students live in the Notre Dame Villa with modern dorm-apartment rooms in the heart of Rome.
The program is open to all Engineering students.

The 2021 program will be led by Notre Dame Engineering Professors Christian Poellabauer (Computer Science and Engineering) and Davide Hill (Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering).
Courses
All students enroll in both of the following courses for a total of 6 engineering credits.
- CSE 34468: Internet of Things
- EG XXXXX: Energy Storage (course number TBA)
The focus of this course is to explore the basic building blocks that make the Internet of Things possible, including the underlying core hardware components, basic input/output operations, wireless radio technologies, and sensing/actuation devices.
Dates
