Course/Program Information
Classes are offered to students in a cohort format; that is students participating in EPS meet together as a group each day to build their engineering design skills in class and then meet in teams of 2-5 students to work on their design projects. International student teams work on interdisciplinary projects with commercial businesses and industries carefully selected to match the students’ specializations and capabilities as well as to develop their intercultural communication and teamwork skills.
