Valparaiso International Engineering Program in German & French
____________________________________
VIEP-German and VIEP-French are five-year programs that combine a major in one of the four engineering fields with a major or minor in German or French. The programs allow students to gain multi-cultural experience and German or French language proficiency along with technical engineering skills and prepare them for careers with one of the many German or French research and manufacturing firms that are located in the United States. |
|
| Elizabeth Racop ('07), Andrew Milleville ('07), & Marc Meekma ('07) were the first to graduate from the VIEP-German program. |

Students are required to fulfill all requirements for one of the four engineering majors; take one German or French course per semester beginning, at the latest, in the third semester; participate in Valparaiso University's Study Abroad Program in Reutlingen, Germany, or La Rochelle, France, in the seventh semester; enroll in at least one German-language engineering, science, or mathematics course while in Reutlingen (students in La Rochelle will do all coursework in French at the EIGSI Engineering School, including courses in engineering, science, or mathematics); work in a cooperative education placement in Germany or France during the eighth semester and the ensuing summer; and reside in the Kade-Duesenberg German House and Cultural Center or French House for at least two semesters.
VIEP-German and VIEP-French are coordinated jointly by the College of Engineering and the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures. Students who wish to enroll in VIEP-German or VIEP-French should see their engineering advisor and a German or French instructor as early as possible in the freshman year.
