The International
Engineering Program is a dual-degree program combining a B.A. in German,
French and/or Spanish with a B.S. in one of the engineering disciplines.
IEP students study language and culture each semester along with their
engineering curriculum. In the fourth year of the five-year program, they
then go abroad as interns with engineering based firms in Europe or Latin
America, and also as exchange students with one of our partner
universities |
