Engineering Fundamentals
Undecided about which area of engineering to pursue? No problem. You’ll have a chance to explore them all. Every engineering student at Michigan Tech takes the same core courses, and chooses a major after two or three semesters. You’ll get exposure to all the engineering fields before choosing a career path. While you’re at it, you’ll gain the fundamental skills for success.
Discovery-based learning
In a typical lecture-based class, it can often take days or weeks to get feedback from the professor. That feedback is often based on graded homework assignments or exams. By then the whole class has moved on to something else.
At Michigan Tech, engineering classes aren’t lecture-based. They’re discovery-based. Your professor will spend 15-20 minutes talking to the class. You’ll spend the rest of the time working on in-class activities with your team. Meanwhile, your professor will go from team to team, offering feedback right on the spot. Engineering talent develops naturally as a result—along with important teamwork and communication skills.
