Students can study abroad the summer after any year of study. It's recommended to study abroad the summer after your first or second year. This allows you to pursue an internship the summer after your junior year, which is a popular option among engineering majors.
You can also study abroad the summer term after you've graduated. This would often mean fulfilling one remaining class such as a H/SS, free elective, or technical elective class. See the Ed Abroad FAQs for more information related to studying abroad after graduation.
