Education

Our education models focus on deep and broad engineering fundamentals coupled with hands-on applications of those fundamentals through real-world projects, often in partnership with industry. Our Experience Engineering Initiative aims to give all undergraduates a hands-on engineering course every year.

We encourage students to develop their communications, leadership and problem-solving skills while working in the kinds of multi-disciplinary team environments they'll find when in the professional world. Opportunities include: our Team Internship Program, Gordon Center for Engineering Leadership, Global TIES, and competition teams and student organizations, many advised by the IDEA Engineering Student Center.
