teamwork, and communication skills within an engineering context. This helps students apply their technical skills more effectively, and acts as a force multiplier, enabling students to have a more powerful impact in their future profession and in the world.
(While the majority of our students are engineering majors, we do make exceptions to those open to the idea of working in industry and committed to developing their leadership skills.)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
