Quantitative Engineering Analysis is a new 16 credit, multi-semester course where students learn and apply vector calculus, physics, and statistics ideas to projects such as boat design and facial recognition.
Olin is more than just a laboratory for innovation in engineering education on our own campus. We are also a “collaboratory,” dedicated to co-designing transformational educational experiences with and for other institutions.
The Olin Collaboratory Summer Institutes provide participants from around the country and around the world with the opportunity to conceive and catalyze change in engineering education.
1000+ educators have visited Olin since the inception of the Collaboratory in 2009. Many come in to do an introductory day visit, which is a compelling way to experience the unique culture of Olin and spark ideas.
