The Integrated Teaching and Learning Program (ITL) is nationally recognized as an award-winning engineering education leader, this program supports hands-on engineering learning through an innovative environment where students integrate engineering theory with practice and learn through doing.
Program components include a first-year design course, sophomore- and junior-level experimental hands-on learning courses, senior design projects and design expos. A multi-year study published in Science magazine reveals a significant improvement in the retention rate among students who take the projects course during their first year in college — a gain that is even more marked among women and students of color.
