Become an engineer from day one.
Start becoming an engineer on the first day of your academic journey by creating innovative solutions to real-world problems in the First Year Engineering Projects course. Then continue with other courses and workshops offered by the Integrated Teaching and Learning Program that promote teamwork and problem-solving skills. You’ll be better prepared to complete your capstone senior project and launch your engineering career upon graduation.
