The Virginia Tech Language and Culture Institute (LCI) offers specialized engineering courses designed for international students. These programs focus on language proficiency, technical communication, and cultural adaptation to prepare students for academic success in engineering disciplines at U.S. universities.
Courses include technical vocabulary development, research writing, and presentation skills tailored to engineering contexts. The LCI bridges gaps between language barriers and STEM education, ensuring students meet the linguistic demands of engineering programs. Partnerships with Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering provide pathways for qualified students to transition into degree programs after completing LCI requirements.
