Experience German College, Culture, and Cars

Ever wonder what a day in the life of a German college student is like? (College is tuition-free, students are paid by their employer to go to school half the year and work the other half.) How humans and robots can work together? How businesses compete for customer market share globally?

(3)

What it is like to be inside a medieval city? What makes Munich one of the most popular cities to visit in Europe? How the automobile evolved over the past 100+ years? What would it be like to see two of the most extensive car collections in the world?

All these will be covered in the Allen Term 2017 class on the German Auto Industry. If you are interested, come to an information session Wednesday, April 20 at 4:45 p.m. in Olin 307.

All this and more will take place Allen Term 2017. If you are interested, come to an information session Wednesday, April 20 at 4:45 p.m. in Olin 307.
