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 |
