German faculty teaches all courses. Upon successful completion of a semester, students earn 15 to 20 Boston University credits.
Complementary coursework runs in tandem with the internship.
During the final week of the program, students attend a capstone seminar in which they complete final work on the academic component of the internship and deliver final presentations. Internships placements vary according to students' interests, backgrounds, previous work experience, and language abilities. Fall semester only. Students also participate in field trips to research institutions, technical museums, and companies to offer insight into the history, the present, and the future of engineering technologies. All courses are taught in English.
