While on campus, students typically take one language class per semester alongside their standard engineering courseload. One of the highlights of the program is a full year spent abroad, including a semester at a partner institution and an international internship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Undergraduate Programs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/academics\/iep\/curriculum\/chinese\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2168\/Chinese.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"A Chinese dragon perched on the edge of a rooftop.\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>Chinese<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/academics\/iep\/curriculum\/french\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2168\/French.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"A stone gargoyle from the Notre-Dame Cathedral overlooks the city of Paris at sunset.\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>French<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/academics\/iep\/curriculum\/german\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2168\/German.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"Historic half-timber buildings line the steets of the city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber in Germany\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>German<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/academics\/iep\/curriculum\/italian\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2168\/Italian.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"Multi-level stuccoed buildings line the streets of the Garbatella district of Rome, Italy.\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>Italian<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/academics\/iep\/curriculum\/japanese\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2168\/Japanese.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"The infamous Shibuya Crossing, or \"Shibuya Scramble\", in Tokyo, Japan, is the world's busiest pedestrian intersection. \"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>Global Language and Area Studies, Japanese Track<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"cl-wrapper cl-card-wrapper\"><a class=\"cl-card  \" href=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/academics\/iep\/curriculum\/spanish\/\" title=\"\"><div class=\"cl-card-container media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.uri.edu\/engineering\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2168\/Spanish.jpg\" srcset=\"\" alt=\"The festivities of the Procession of San Ferm\u00edn in Pamplona, Spain, include parading a reliquary through the streets.\"><\/div><div class=\"cl-card-container text\"><div class=\"cl-card-text\"><h2>Spanish<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<section class=\"cl-wrapper cl-promo-wrapper\"><div class=\"cl-promo  \"><div class=\"cl-promo-backdrop-wrapper\"><div class=\"cl-promo-backdrop style-confetti\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"cl-promo-content\"><div class=\"cl-promo-text\"><h1>International Dual Master&#8217;s \nDegree Programs<\/h1><p>Want global experience as a graduate student?
