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.
