<p>I would like to study abroad in Germany so I'm going to need to study German in college because I took spanish in HS. An engineering degree won't prohibit me from doing that will it?</p>
<p>And how hard would studying engineering in another language be? I know it will be hard but will it be mind breakingly hard?</p>
<p>I’m planning on getting a minor in chinese and a major in civil engineering. I would say this, if you have tons of AP credits that will give you credit for random general education subjects such as literature, english, social studies, communications etc… it will be easy, it’s tough/impossible if you have no AP credit at a school with general education requirements.</p>
<p>yeah it will be little hard as any one study abroad in a deffrent language
there are two ways
1- study only what need in engineering (terms and some expressions)
2- trying to use german as a life language in germany
and thats depend on you and the colleges system
some colleges give a first year language learning and others give courses as a subject while you study engineering.
as usual first year need much work.</p>
<p>According to this website, there are engineering colleges in Germany where you can take classes in english: [IIE</a> | Participating Institutions](<a href=“http://www.iie.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Programs7/Global-E3/Participating_Institutions/Participating_Institutions.htm]IIE”>http://www.iie.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Programs7/Global-E3/Participating_Institutions/Participating_Institutions.htm)</p>
<p>Plan things very carefully, and far in advance. Your freshman year, I’d recommend getting with an academic advisor from your intended department and work out what you’re going to need to do in order to study abroad. The main problem is that it’s difficult to find credits abroad that will transfer in for an ABET-accredited engineering degree, and that there’s not a lot of time to mess around with taking additional credits without ending up having to go for five years.</p>
<p>It’s doable, but have a plan and have the plan approved early. I found that if I got things put in writing, signed by the department head and the dean, and made a ton of copies to have put in my files at the department office and the registrar’s office, it made for smoother sailing.</p>
