The Academy of Engineering

Engineering

Working with technology and tools that engineers use, you’ll adopt a problem-solving mindset and make the leap from dreamer to doer. You’ll learn how to look at challenges as puzzles to be put together rather than obstacles. And you’ll work with like-minded students and mentors to solve pressing real-world issues, from affordable housing design to biofuel production to building working prosthetics.
