Q12:  Why French with engineering?

France is one of the strongest economic forces in Europe, with a highly trained workforce. Since the two official languages of the European Community are English and French, and France has highly developed technological industries, preparing students to work in French-speaking countries is a logical next step for the IEP. There are huge French investments in the United States, as well as American investments in France, and the IEP has proven a clear demand for American trained engineers with good French skills.

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
