Description : With its leading role in the world economy, reputation for excellence in innovation across technical sectors, and commitment to Small and Medium Enterprises (SME), Germany is leading the transition to the future digital, service-based economy. An estimated 99% of the German economy is based on SMEs and is also home to some of the world’s most innovative companies such as Bayer, SAP, Bosch, and Volkswagen. This experiential study abroad program was designed to allow students to look under the hood of the drivers of the modern German economy: startups and data-intensive service firms. Starting in Berlin, this two-week trip engaged students in expert discussions and lectures and site visits across Germany, including visits to Stuttgart and Karlsruhe.

Description : This collaborative program through the University of Nebraska - Lincoln allows UNO students to join the Architectural Engineering program in Italy. Students connected historical perspectives and past engineering to their current (and future) field by visiting all of the major architectural areas in Italy. Students analyzed and interpreted historical drawings (artistic and/or of machines and buildings) or building designs; learned about historical construction methods, famous artists, scientists, and engineers in history (DaVinci, Galileo, etc.) and their major contributions; and developed an understanding and appreciation for the Italian culture and gained skills as a future global leader.

Topics:
Description : The research goal in terms of adapting deterrence to emerging security challenges is the examination of deterrence in a complex spectrum incorporating state and non-state actors and development of a tested and validated assessment methodology. This broad-spectrum assessment methodology facilitated systemic and rigorous identification and analysis of adversaries and their courses of action (what an adversary may do, why, and how to confirm/deny), deterrence profile, options, and influence points (what works and what to avoid). Pre-selected students were expected to perform all duties assigned and by their deadlines.
