Madrid Engineering
A one-semester Madrid Engineering Program in the Spring gives sophomore students the opportunity to take technical and engineering courses through the ICAI – Universidad Pontificia de Comillas.
The program consists of five classes—
Students enroll in the following four required courses (4.0 credits each):
- CAS LS XXX Spanish Language/Literature (pending placement test results)
- Taught at the Instituto Internacional
- CAS LS 241 Cultures of Spain (Social Science)
- Instituto Internacional
- ENG EK 307 Electric Circuits
- Taught at ICAI
- CAS MA 226 Differential Equations
- ICAI
Students choose one of the following elective courses (4.0 credits):
- CAS PY 321 Thermal Physics (2.0 credits) and CAS PY 322 Quantum Physics (2.0 credits)
- Together, PY 321 and PY 322 fulfill the Natural Science Elective
- ICAI
- ENG BE 209 Principles of Molecular Cell Biology & Biotechnology
- ICAI
- ENG ME 304 Engineering Thermodynamics
- ICAI
Students may also opt to fulfill additional Hub units by completing the following:
HUB SA 230 The Individual in Community with Study Abroad
HUB SA 225 Global Citizenship and Intercultural Literacy with Study Abroad
Undergraduate students who study abroad can fulfill a single Hub requirement in The Individual in Community (IIC) or Global Citizenship and Intercultural Literacy (GCIL).
