Picker Engineering Program faculty share a commitment to teaching through hands-on learning. Even first-year engineering courses incorporate numerous elements of teamwork, writing, public presentation and review of work. It’s all part of a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach to educating today’s global engineer.
If you visit a Smith engineering class, you won’t find a large group of people who seem tense and are competing with one another. You’ll see a diverse group of women who enter the classroom, get comfortable, and begin talking with each other about their projects and readings. They compete against their goals and potential.
Lectures are more like conversations. Students ask lots of questions, and both the teacher and other students contribute information and suggest additional research. Students spend a lot of time working with various teams or getting together to study. They are intense about their work, but they also have a good time doing it.
Everyone in the program learns to present her work in written and oral form, as well as in digital formats. Expert staff help you improve your technical skills. There are lots of opportunities for constructive review and useful suggestions. By the time you graduate, you can research, prepare, present and defend your ideas effectively to anyone.
