Hands-On Engineering Programs

<p>Olin is definitely a niche-fit. I’d be glad to answer questions via PM or Olin threads. (My son has only been there a few months, but we’ve been researching it several years.) </p>

<p>I wanted to add more general information about group project courses. Here’s an example from CO School of Mines…“EPICS”.<br>

<p>Locally we have state engineering programs at Mines, CU and CSU. The obvious difference is size / variety (Mines is small, w/o non-STEM majors of a university… that could be good or bad depending on preferences). I’ve heard EPICS mentioned as a less obvious Mines difference / advantage.</p>
