I started learning German, even though engineers don鈥檛 need to, because I thought 鈥渨hy not learn a new language?鈥 Two semesters later, I was studying abroad in Germany. That fall, I completed the German for Engineering Certificate.

Mark Meloni
"By the end of the week, I found myself weaving in between platforms with no trouble, even giving directions to friends in German instead of English without intending to."
Collin Clark
Degree: 2019, B.S., Computer Engineering
"I have worked my way to-and-fro across this city in the past week, each day more with more sleep deprivation and desperation, but each day with a little more understanding and more than a few new words."
Joey Miller
"When we arrived, we first had a little bus ride in which we saw the city. It was beautiful from the start and it still is absolutely amazing in my opinion."
Rachel Harrell
Degree: 2021, B.S., Pre-Veterinary Studies
"My first few experiences have been enlightening and have really opened my eyes to how influential America is to other cultures, as well as how much more of an emphasis learning foreign languages is for students here."
Dean Woodrow
Degree: 2018, B.A.,听International Relations, European History, German Language
"Have I mentioned the food yet? Because my God, the food. Curried sausages, schnitzel, sauerkraut, Turkish kabobs, freshly baked bread, more cheeses than you can shake a stick at and that鈥檚 just before lunch."
