German Study-abroad Program

Students in the industrial engineering program at MSOE have the opportunity to study abroad through an agreement between MSOE and the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences in Lübeck, Germany.

Due to the global nature of business today, the graduate who has traveled internationally, speaks a foreign language or has an understanding of the cultures and traditions of other nations will have a marked advantage.

The MSOE German Study-abroad Program for industrial engineering students enables them to study for one semester at a German university where the focus is in the area of applied engineering and business, while at the same time gaining firsthand experience by being immersed in German culture.

Industrial engineering students who enroll in the German Study-abroad Program will study for one semester at the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences during their sophomore, junior, or senior year (participating seniors must be graduating in November). The semester runs from March through mid-July. Students live in on- or off-campus housing arranged by the university.

Industrial engineering students wishing to participate in the study-abroad program at Lübeck University of Applied Sciences in their junior or senior year must have a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or higher at the end of the Winter Quarter of their sophomore year, and be in good academic standing at the end of Winter and Spring Quarters of their sophomore year. Industrial engineering students wishing to participate in their sophomore year must have a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or higher at the end of the Winter Quarter of their freshman year, and be in good academic standing at the end of Winter and Spring Quarters of their freshman year. A commitment to participate must be made one year in advance.

Key features of the program for MSOE students: 

  • All instruction is in English. Students do NOT need to speak German but will take a German II class as part of their coursework. 
  • Students can graduate on schedule, if they stay on track in the IE curriculum.

Note

1 There are 36 credits of elective subjects in the industrial engineering program. Students, in collaboration with their faculty advisors, design their program from the following electives categories:

  • 12 credits from approved industrial engineering electives list 
  • 3 credits from non-IE engineering electives list 
  • 12 credits from humanities and social sciences (HU/SS), of which 6 must be in the humanities area (HU) and 6 in the social sciences (SS) area
  • 3-credit (300 or 400 level) course 
  • 3 credits from approved list of math or science electives 
  • 3 credits from management systems elective (see note 2)

2 The MS elective must be 300 level or higher unless otherwise approved by the IE program director. In order to obtain the Minor in Business Management, the industrial engineering student must take MS 331 , MS 342 , MS 356 , and MS 361 , in addition to the management courses already required by this industrial engineering curriculum. Business classes that have considerable overlap with IE courses (MS 340 , MS 3403 , MS 344 , MS 393 , MS 4801  and possibly others) may not be taken for credit by IE students. If uncertain about the acceptability of a particular MS elective course, the student should check with his/her academic advisor or the IE program director.

Industrial Engineering Electives

Technical Electives

Note

With the written consent of the IE program director and after careful review of both student developmental objectives and the science/design content of alternate selections, some engineering elective substitutions may be permitted. In no case may an engineering technology course (MT, ET, etc.) be substituted for an engineering course. 

Elective combinations are restricted. Elective selection must be done in consultation with the faculty curriculum advisor.
