School of Sciences and Engineering at AUC - Home to Future Engineers





Hear that? That’s the sound of a future engineer setting up a tripod for a mock survey of the area around him. 

Before being able to graduate from AUC, engineering students must complete a rigorous five year study plan that include a number of science labs, math classes and practical on-hands classes where students are expected to do things similar to what they would be doing out in the work force. Examples include construct mock ups of building, use a simulator to drill for fake oil wells and build a hard drive of a computer from scratch.

The Sciences and Engineering building, the SSE for short, holds not only the engineering department, under which students can graduate with degrees in a wide array of engineering but also holds the sciences department which include biology, chemistry and physics departments.

So next time you see students in the SSE rushing around with drawing pads or busily building a model skyscraper, just remember that one day, these fresh faced students  building models out of matchsticks could very well, be in charge of building your dream home.
