Program Highlight:
Summer E-Kart Project
Are you a student in Engineering or Business and have at least four semesters of German under your belt? Do you want to have an abroad experience without the travel? Then, this “Maymester” opportunity may be for you!
We developed a virtual, project-based course to offer students the opportunity to build on theoretical knowledge and gain more hands-on experience in their fields while being fully immersed in a foreign language and culture as the class will be held in German. The instructor, Professor Andreas Weiβenbach, is heading the mechanical engineering department at the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University Mosbach. He brings a wealth of practical experience to the table that he is eager to share with students. Engineering students design and build an electronically powered go-kart and Business/Marketing students develop a business plan and gain experience in event management.
For further information, please contact abroad@uconn.edu or inga.poetzl@uconn.edu.
