German for Engineers
German for Engineers offers engineering students the opportunity to obtain German language skills to their curriculum either in preparation for the dual-degree ATLANTIS program, for the Baden-Württemberg exchange program, or to add an additional distinguishing qualification for the job market. Students who finish the program receive a German minor.
