When Matt Barry returned from his first trip to Iceland, he wanted to share the experience with others who could appreciate the country’s rich history and culture — as well as its engineering advancements.
So the associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering led a semester-long course with a weeklong travel component titled “Sustainable Engineering in Iceland: Culture, History and Innovation.” It was the university’s first faculty-led study abroad program excursion to Iceland.
