Success StoriesVittoria Bellissimo Works in Slovenia on an IAESTE Student ExchangeThis summer I participated in an IAESTE student exchange to Maribor, Slovenia. Slovenia is a small country in Eastern Europe bordering Austria, Hungary, Croatia and Italy. It is a beautiful country, often referred to as a miniature Europe, because it contains mountains, coast, rivers, plains, etc. I worked for the Technical Faculty of the University of Maribor, creating GPS maps of Maribor, and of Ljubljana, the capital city. |

Through the completion of this project, and other smaller computer projects, I became familiar with many new software programmes, and learned a great deal about GPS and the benefits of this technology. Living in Maribor itself was a wonderful experience. The people were all kind and understanding, and we were able to travel throughout Slovenia, as well as to Italy, Austria, Hungary, Croatia and Bosnia. I would recommend participation in an IAESTE exchange to all engineering and technical studies students. It is a great way to practice your trade and see new parts of the world simultaneously; a truly rewarding experience.
