This undergraduate-only engineering program aims to prepare itsstudents for a changing landscape of engineering that requires engineers to be adept creators,problem-solvers, and collaborators. Here students learn engineering through the practice ofengineering and as Jesse tells me, “all I want to do is build stuff.” That made this program, withfabrication projects built into engineering coursework, an ideal choice for her.As she goes on to explain how she developed the skills needed to accomplish her current project,a theme emerges.

Perhaps the bestexample of how teamwork was built comes from the student team’s own log: “What we found out was that the small details that were important to each individual play a major factor in building a successful team and how well they work with one another.
