Why Engineering?

Engineering is Academic Glue - it binds complex math and science concepts to real-world experiences and leads to learning that sticks with students.
Engineering is Creativity – the need for problem-solving and innovation brings out the best ideas from every student.
Engineering is Group Work – students learn to communicate and work together while they learn math and science by applying engineering principles.
Engineering is Everywhere – students learn that engineers have designed, created, or modified nearly everything they touch, wear, eat, see, and hear in their daily lives.
Engineering is FUN!
