Students learn how to apply scientific and technological skills through a HANDS-ON,MINDS-ON APPROACH".[2] Students learn industry grade engineering CAD design software such as Autodesk Inventor[2] and apply it to create a variety of projects. Students then have access to a variety of machines to facilitate the creation of their projects such as 3D printers, CNC routers, milling machines, a lathe, and several other common manufacturing machines. More information about applications to the program can be found on the official website.
