We're not building the Olin curriculum out of thin air. We're basing much of it on recommendations from well-known, established entities that have been urging curriculum changes to improve tomorrow's engineers. We've worked closely with the National Science Foundation , the American Society for Engineering Education and the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology to craft an engineering program for the new millennium. The emphasis will be on providing a rigorous preparation in engineering science, team-based design, communications, independent projects and research, and principles of business management and entrepreneurship. Programs will be offered in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Engineering and Applied Science.
Students can also pursue a generic option in engineering.
