AiB TAMU Biotechnologies
Semester Program
Term: Spring
In Cooperation with: Texas A&M University (TAMU) & Institute for Education and Social Innovation (ibugi)
Directed at students of biomedical studies, biomedical engineering or veterinary medicine, the AiB TAMU Biosciences program is designed to provide participants with an array of knowledge in the fields of math, engineering, and natural and medical sciences while embedding all of these disciplines within the cultural context and history of Europe. Students will learn about their field of studies and its history in Europe whilst also working on a real-world project over the course of the semester with our partner institute enmodes, for which students work on the design of an extracorporeal medical device.

AiB Lafayette College Engineering
Semester Program
Term: Spring
In Cooperation with: Lafayette College & Institute for Education and Social Innovation (ibugi)
In this program, students acquire extensive engineering, mathematical and scientific knowledge and skills, which enable them to work in a scientifically and technically sound manner as graduates and to act responsibly in their professional activities. In addition to the specialized courses, students take elective courses in the humanities. The interdisciplinary approach enables students to analyze and evaluate socio-political and socio-cultural developments from an engineering and scientific perspective and to develop their own solutions. Through study tours to production facilities and logistics companies, students learn about the workflows of technical processes and are prepared to develop and evaluate technical and planning solution concepts. Students are enabled to work sustainably and interdisciplinary and to consider socio-political and environmental law issues, also in cross-national comparison.
