A Career in Engineering: Preparing for a Career in Space, is an interactive laboratory half block class that will provide the student with an introduction to engineering fundamentals. Students will design a satellite system and write a contract proposal that will be presented to a customer for evaluation. The class will then take the students through the lifecycle of their engineering proposal, providing opportunities to learn about the many roles in an engineering team, from program management to systems engineering, software and hardware engineering, and business management. Students will finish the course with a good idea of what a career in engineering is really like. In addition, the class will address how to apply to an internship or first job in engineering. The class is open to all Colorado College students regardless of their major.
