Sometimes I am here until midnight. Many of these students have such a good experience that they enroll in Vanderbilt for their college education. I also teach an engineering course, ES 130 . This is the introductory course that all engineering students must take to learn the principles of engineering and computing. They are given problems, they model the solution on computer, and then come up with a real world application.
Engineering is about problem solving.
Computer lab for ES130. Students learn to make 3-D images on the computer. These realistic images are called Virtual Reality. The students must learn to work in teams, for engineers rarely work alone. The students take the Myers Briggs test to understand their personality type and their style of working in a team.
