University of Alabama engineering students along with four peer institutions in the state will take part in a German engineering exchange program.
Local media reports that UA Provost Kevin Whitaker and his counterparts at the other partnering universities signed a memorandum of understanding Sept. 14 creating the exchange program. Undergraduates will be able to take English-taught courses at the Germany universities in mechanical, electrical and computer engineering.
The exchange joins existing UA programs allowing students to study engineering in Germany.
The other Alabama institutions include the University of Alabama in Huntsville, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Auburn University and the University of South Alabama. Seven German universities from the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg will participate.
About 20 undergraduates from the state will begin studying in Germany beginning next spring.
