@sodapop027 You can take classes outside the engineering school as you please, and you kind of have to to fulfill liberal distribution requirements. If you’re minoring in something not engineering related, then you’ll definitely be taking classes out of the COE. I’m majoring in ChemE and trying to minor in Business. With planning and AP credit it’ll be fairly manageable. The ability to do it is highly contingent on how many classes you place out of, how many credits your major requires, and how well you can handle taking an 18+ credit course load for multiple semesters. The engineering program is incredibly rigorous and demanding especially early on, but it is very doable if you’re responsible and know what you’re doing. I would check out the handbook for the requirements of your desired major(s) and see what you think you can get out of and do each semester.

I know the engineering school doesn’t have as many opportunities to study abroad, but I’ve heard of engineers studying abroad in Spain. The thing with studying engineering abroad is that you don’t need language proficiency or fluency to participate since the engineering school itself has no language requirements. Overall, study abroad for engineers is an extremely small program.
