Ingredients Necessary for Success

Given the barriers which stand in the path of innovation, there are, nevertheless, sufficient success stories to demonstrate that engineering and language faculty can collaborate for meaningful curricular change. Indeed, the University of Rhode Island boasts a program with over 135 students enrolled, all of whom are completing degrees in both engineering and language, and who plan to spend at least six months in professional internships abroad. Over 100 students have completed such internships already and the demand for IEP grads is far in excess of the supply. What then are the ingredients for this kind of success?

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
