Learn a Foreign Language As an Engineer?

[sl4shd0t]

Ben B writes "I'm working on an undergraduate degree in computer engineering in the US, and I'm a native English-speaking citizen. In fact, English is the only language that I know. Maybe it's not the same at other schools, but for the engineering program at mine, a foreign language is not required. If my plans are to one day be involved in research, is it worth my time to learn a foreign language? If so, which one?" Learning something new is almost never a waste of time, but how much energy have others found worthwhile to expend with all of the programming/math/tech type courses to be had at a large university?http://developers.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rss&op=image&style=h0&sid=08/07/07/211258 (http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/07/07/211258&from=rss)
