Picture of the first and second cohorts of the Technische Universität Darmstadt (Germany) - Virginia Tech (USA) Dual Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Degree program. In this particular version of the program the students complete two years at TUD followed by one year at Virginia Tech. Upon successful completion of this program, the students earn a BS in Mechanical and Process Engineering from TUD and a BS in Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech.

The development of these two dual degree programs was funded by the EU-US ATLANTIS program: The US participation was funded via a \$672,600 grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) in the US Dept of Education (P116J06-0015), and the European participation was funded via a €624,000 grant from the European Commission.
