REAL WORLD READY
In the W.S. Lee College of Engineering, you will be able to forge your own future. Our college offers hands-on learning opportunities that create graduates who are real world ready. As a first-year student, you’ll experience application-oriented training as you design and build projects ranging from spring-powered cars to electronic circuits.
This pragmatic approach continues through your final year, featuring the Senior Capstone Design Project course where you will be able to solve actual, real-world challenges in direct partnership with industry. Niner Engineers.
WE’RE NOT JUST READY FOR THE REAL WORLD. WE ENGINEER THE REAL WORLD.
