Through my schools partnership program with Brown University, I was able to take part in a 12-week Introduction to Engineering course during the Spring of my Sophomore year. In the course we focused on the engineering design process. The course covered many scientific concepts, techniques, and skills. Some scientific concepts we learned including static equilibrium and the mechanics of materials. In addition we learned modeling techniques through an online CAD program called OnShape. In the Brown Design Workshop we learned how to properly use 3D printers and laser-cutters, and we became trained in wood-working and metal-working.
