When we think of everyday life, most of us take a lot of daily conveniences for granted. Take, for instance, the toaster you use to toast your bread in the morning. Have you ever thought about the electricity that makes it work or how it gets to your house? Or what about the road you take to school in the morning? What about the car that you ride in? The music that you listen to in your MP3 player, the airplane you fly on to go on vacation, sending an email or DM to a friend, giving Siri commands, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and a myriad of other things that are just “part of your daily life” are all in some way or another associated with at least one field of engineering.

In this year-long course, students will have the opportunity to explore the many different engineering disciplines and learn basic applied science and math principles used in various fields of engineering. Students will also be working on projects that will reinforce the concepts learned from each field.
