Abstract
In this paper, the author describes the findings of his study of fifteen representative graduates of the University of Rhode Island International Engineering Program (IEP). The IEP program enables the students to earn a language degree alongside their engineering curriculum and involves one year of immersion study and professional internship abroad. The study seeks to define the long-term impact of the IEP experience on the lives and careers of its students.
