Student Testimonials
"The engineering program definitely surprised me. As someone who does not usually consider mathematics very interesting, I actually found the class challenging, thought-provoking, and worthwhile. It definitely made me think differently about engineering as a field of study and even as a career, because I learned about real world applications."
