Why?
Why should my child be an engineer?
We know you have a lot of choices for investing in your student’s education. Engineers are professional problem solvers. We teach your student that they are the ones who decides if they are an engineer or not. Once they choose that they are a professional problem solver and they exercise this brain muscle in our programs, they are unstoppable. Any problem they encounter, they will be able to apply the Engineering Process and the essential soft skills learned in our programs.
