Buckle your seatbelts: THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL ENGINEERING SCHOOL.

Build and innovate from day one through an exciting process of discovery and co-creation.

Work on diverse teams and tackle actual engineering challenges in a manner very similar to the global teams assembled by today’s leading companies.

Get excited about what you care about, and get

ready to help people through Olin’s design-thinking approach.

Work side-by-side with talented and enterprising faculty who are inventing new and improved ways to educate.

Launch an entrepeneurial enterprise at some point

during four years of study.

Work harder and have more fun than you’ve ever had with teams of students like you, who want to make a difference in the world.

We’ve built A NEW KIND OF ENGINEERING COLLEGE My favorite thing about Olin is the HANDS-ON APPROACH TO LEARNING things. The satisfaction that comes with seeing a project through from start-to-finish and actually APPLYING WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED is an unparalleled feeling. I also love that Olin’s approach to teaching classes is more experimental.

We believe THERE IS A PROBLEM with undergraduate engineering education.

EVERYWHERE:

The traditional curriculum is too narrow; it teaches students how to solve problems, but not how to find the right problems to solve. At most schools, students spend the first semesters—sometimes years—taking prerequisites in math and science before they do any engineering.

boundaries of knowledge and innovation working on

At Olin, STUDENTS EXPERIENCE LEARNING not just in formal and technical ways, but also AS EXPLORERS AND CREATORS who design their own paths.

LEARNING HAPPENS in student clubs and organizations, think robotic sailing @OlinAquaBots, baja racing @OlinBajaRacing... in exploring the research projects with faculty

nd by pursuing new a ideas and passions

through independent studies, co-curriculars and passionate pursuits.

Are you for Olin; IS OLIN FOR YOU? With the creative and supportive community, Olin is A PLACE WHERE EACH STUDENT CAN BE INSPIRED AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FORGE THEIR OWN EDUCATIONAL PATHWAY. Because Olin is such a small school, Olin’s investment in the personal development and success of each individual student is unmatched by any other college.

you’ll find plenty of kindred spirits here.

COLLABORATIVE, entrepreneurial, socially conscious & worldly

My favorite thing about Olin is the community and environment. EVERYONE IS STRIVING TO LEARN, BUT HERE IT’S A VERY COOPERATIVE ATMOSPHERE. This has really helped to open my eyes to the way other members of the community view the world and the topics they choose to study. more

AT OLIN, STUDENTS START ENGINEERING RIGHT AWAY with three classes in the first year that provide hands-on experiences in several areas of engineering and entrepreneurship too.

Design Nature: where

students design and build mechanical systems inspired by animals that hop, crawl and swim.

Products & Markets: where students imagine, design, prototype, test, and market a product—all in the span of one semester.

M odeling & Simulation (ModSim): where students

complete a series of projects applying the tools of mathematical modeling and computer simulation to systems that change over time.

Engineers who REFLECT THE SOCIETY they serve My motivation for teaching [PRODUCTS & MARKETS] is that as engineers, we’re really good at getting to the prototype but I wanted to look at what it means to go from prototype all the way to products: to START WITH HUMAN NEEDS AND INSPIRATION AND TO END WITH PEOPLE as the recipients of the solutions we’ve imagined and realized.

From people to people.

At Olin, we’re clear that the true goal of engineering is to MAKE PEOPLE’S LIVES AND OUR WORLD BETTER That’s why we call our brand of engineering “people inspired.” This design-thinking approach is a fundamental part of Olin’s learning experience and one that is being emulated now by colleges across the country.

This focus is exemplified in courses such as USER-ORIENTED COLLABORATIVE DESIGN, in which students intensively study the needs of selected “user groups” (such as scuba divers or people who play wheelchair basketball) before they even begin to think about designing products for them. The point is to learn design through a collaborative process where the first question is “What would actually make this person’s life better?”

Our programs & majors highlight our FULLY-INTEGRATED engineering curriculum My favorite class so far has been Real World Measurements. Our final project—launching a weather balloon—was such fun! MY TEAM TRACKED TEMPERATURE AND THE CONCENTRATIONS OF OZONE + METHANE IN THE ATMOSPHERE. The challenge was in making sure that we could locate and retrieve the payload after it lands. Coming from a mechE-heavy background, Real World Measurements enabled me to understand electrical engineering from a systems view.

At many other engineering schools students take many classes in their major, but few classes in other fields.

We’ve shaped the curriculum so that every student learns about software, electronics and mechanical systems, and has several chances to work with students from other majors on interdisciplinary projects. In fact, Olin students take many of the same classes regardless of major. These classes are organized in three interconnected themes—

Design & Entrepreneurship Modeling & Analysis Systems & Control *ABET

A Real-World, USER-ORIENTED SOLUTION

At Olin, I LEARNED THE VALUE OF UNDERSTANDING THE USERS OF OUR TECHNOLOGY. It may seem self-evident what needs our technology can address, but we have spent lots of time and effort to understand what would motivate a CO2-emitting company to adapt our technology.

Learning occurs through IMMERSION IN REALWORLD PROBLEMS. This approach creates innovators, inventors, entrepreneurs and leaders who, in their senior year, apply the skills they’ve learned over their first three years to one of two large real-world challenges: a corporate consulting project, called the Senior Capstone Program in Engineering (SCOPE), or Affordable Design and Entrepreneurship (ADE), an opportunity to develop technologies and ventures to help alleviate poverty in lowincome communities.

ENGINEERING CAPSTONES — develop industry-ready skills & industry-disrupting ideas In many Moroccan communities, illiterate people own cell phones, yet they face numerous technical, linguistic and cultural barriers to using them. The complex spoken-language environment combines French and Arabic and many other dialects which makes using keypads a challenge. We partnered with peers from Babson and Moroccan engineering students from Ecole Nationale de L’Industrie Minerale to explore a solution.

In the end we prototyped a number-matching system that incorporated a paper record of a person’s contacts and, over time, THE SYSTEM ENABLED USERS TO MORE ADE: MOROCCO EASILY ACCESS AND UTILIZE THEIR PHONE WHILE ALSO CREATING A LEARNING NUMERICAL LITERACY. TELECOMMUNICATIONS Noura Howell ’12

IF YOU HAVE DREAMS OF TRAVELING AND CHANGING THE WORLD, ADE is the class for you.

Affordable Design and Entrepreneurship designing products and services that meet the needs of people in developing and underserved areas

In ADE students work in teams with faculty advisors and use their Olin design and entrepreneurial skills to tackle real-world problems including promoting a bamboo bicycle business in Alabama, improving rickshaw transportation in India and creating tools for cassava processing in Ghana.

Our SENIOR CAPSTONE PROGRAM IN ENGINEERING (SCOPE) is a unique industryuniversity collaboration

We gave our team a challenging open-ended problem and were extremely pleased with their results. We learned from both the breadth and depth of their work, and are excited to explore a new problem with next year’s project.

The team’s biggest deployment was during Expo—an end of semester project fair. THE FACEBOOK SCOPE TEAM ADDED AN INTERACTIVE CHRIS MARRA PRODUCT MANAGER, FACEBOOK COMPONENT TO EACH ATTENDEE’S BADGE AND LAUNCHED EXPO LIVE. Project pages and information about each project’s presenters were put online. During the conference, attendees could opt in to keeping track of what projects they visited via hardware-enabled badges.

This allowed the team to display, in real-time, which projects were visited by whom, which enabled visitors to later follow-up with students they had met during the event. more

Best of ENGINEERING, BUSINESS, LIBERAL ARTS My colleague Lynn Andrea Stein and I created Engineering for Humanity to help students identify problems facing local senior-citizen partners.

WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO DESIGN WITH THE NEEDS, PRIORITIES AND VALUES OF PEOPLE IN MIND, not to design something an engineer thinks is a good idea but no real person would actually want. Our students have designed a double-handled cane for a man who had trouble getting out of his car. The class includes students from Olin as well as from our partner institutions Babson and Wellesley.
