The choice of these particular GSEP languages was driven by a strategic aim to(a) maximize coverage of languages and regions with strong global STEM leadership; and (b)leverage existing degree programs in our Modern Languages department. In the German, Frenchand Spanish variants, GSEP scholars augment their primary STEM degree with a second BA intheir chosen foreign language, performing both coursework and their internships in the foreignlanguage while abroad; in Chinese and Japanese variants, GSEP scholars earn a minor in thelanguage and, accordingly, pursue English-centric study and internships while abroad.

suggest. The most significant results from this first stageare: a) Engineers spend much of their time coordinating the work of other people over whom they have little formal authority. This includes insiders – people in the same organization – and outsiders in client organizations, suppliers, contractors and community organizations. b) The significance of this coordination has much to do with the need to bring people together with the diverse range of technical knowledge and skills needed to complete engineering project successfully. Much of the working knowledge is unwritten. Written knowledge, where available, is often accessed verbally through individuals familiar with the specific details. c) Advocacy
