Giles R. Hoyt, Assoc. Active exchange since 1987. The Purdue School of Engineering and Technology at Indianapolis has a unique exchange agreement with the Berufsakademie Mannheim, a professional training college for engineers and technologists in Germany. The internships provide technical experience, knowledge of a foreign culture, and improvement of German language skills. American participants live with the families of their German counterparts and help to host them during their internships in Indianapolis in January and February.
