The university is teaming up with the company “Edge Pathways” to launch an online, one year program for passionate, creative, problem solving high school grads who are interested in an engineering career, but perhaps haven’t had the experience, education, or guidance to help them thrive at the college level.
“The challenge is more than 50% of students that start STEM and engineering degrees never complete them and it’s often due to a lack of support,” said Dan Sommer, CEO & co-founder of Edge Pathways.
“Courses like calculus and chemistry can be challenging and that first year of college can make or break students.”
