Throughout the 2025 spring semester, sophomore engineering students studying in Bonn, Germany, will share their stories on the Lafayette Engineers in Bonn blogging site as they learn about Engineering Systems that Make Cites Work. You are invited to follow their stories, and post comments and questions.

In addition to studying Bonn’s infrastructure systems, students will have the opportunity to study the infrastructure systems of Cologne, Duisburg, Wolfsburg, and Berlin in Germany, as well as infrastructure systems of Amsterdam, Netherlands, and Copenhagen, Denmark. Follow along as students learn about systems that are key to the various cities’ operations, the interactions between those systems, and the impacts those systems have on residents and workers.
