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

abroad as interns with engineering based firms in Europe or Latin America,
and also as exchange students with one of our partner universities |
