Introduction to Engineering through Mathematics

This program aims to increase awareness and interest in engineering careers, build algebra skills through engineering applications, encourage diversity in STEM fields, and improve success rates in passing algebra on first attempt. Developed by Dr. Anne Spence, Melissa Corkum, and Jamie Medoff, the program features hands-on activities such as studying Bernoulli’s Principle, catapults, Fulcrums, Elasticity, and Circuits.
