Course Descriptions

• Biomedical Life Science – Empowers students to build fundamental knowledge and technical skills in biomedical science, as well as in-demand, transportable skills like problem solving, critical and creative thinking, communication, and collaboration. It sits in the intersection of science and healthcare.
• Computer Science – Engages students in interdisciplinary activities that not only build knowledge and skills in computer science, but also empower students to develop essential skills such as problem solving, critical and creative thinking, communication, collaboration, and perseverance.
• Engineering – Empowers students to step into the role of an engineer, adopt a problem-solving mindset, and make the leap from dreamers to doers, the foundation of any engineering discipline.

All students will participate in a collaborative group problem solving challenge. Collaboration, creativity, innovation, and ingenuity will be an integral part of the experience as students learn to share ideas and learn from each other.
