Engineers, inventors, and scientists of the future all need to get their start somewhere. Maybe your first project is create an aerial imaging system to take pictures from the sky. Maybe it’s to play electronic music that you wrote yourself. Maybe it’s to test models of bigger, better, smarter, safer buildings.
