Five Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering faculty members were among the seven Arizona State University educators who joined 16 other college professors from throughout the United States in a travel fellowship program that took them to Israel recently.
Over almost two weeks they met with professors at some of Israel’s leading institutions of higher education, as well as some of the country’s industry and government leaders.
Some in the U.S. contingent — including Fulton Schools faculty — were able to meet Israeli professors who could potentially become international research collaborators.
The journey took them to prominent sites around the country. See the three photographs below.
