If you don’t know where to start, dip your toe in at this summary, read about BUILD design reviews, and dive into your first BUILD class.

But if you can only read one thing, read about the mentors.

With the BUILD program you will be a full performance engineer upon graduation, fully contributing on engineering teams.

We are changing how engineering is taught. The BUILD program adds an exciting hands-on, team-oriented approach to supplement the theoretical and mathematical concepts in traditional engineering programs.

You hold design reviews and actually build things. You learn how to turn your designs into manufactured products. You graduate with four years of engineering experience.

If you enjoy building things, like to work on teams, thrive on working really hard, and want to come out of school with four years of engineering experience as a full performance engineer, this program is for you.

Next up: Summary of The BUILD Program

Some BUILD Program characteristics

The BUILD program doesn’t ask you to memorize things. Instead, we teach you how to figure out what you need, quickly develop a plan to apply what you need, and bring it to practice. Let other people blindly follow a list of step-by-step instructions. You are a highly intelligent being and we respect and grow that part of you.

In the BUILD program you work in teams with electrical, mechanical, software, chemical, and all engineers in the same classroom having to rely on each other - this is how engineering is done in the 21st century. You take what you’re learning, build it, and have it manufactured both here and overseas. You graduate as a full performance engineer with four years of experience.

The pictures on this website were created with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The BUILD Program embraces the use of technology in the classroom. As an example, The BUILD Program does not consider the use of AI cheating, we consider its lack of use as foolish. Of course it needs be used with great care and caution and we use it prudently and productively.

What does it take to turn your idea into a reliable, ergonomic, user friendly manufacturable product? What are BUILD design reviews? The BUILD program supplements the theory and math and shows you how to be an engineer. Take a look at your very first BUILD class. Take a look at what you’re going to do in the four BUILD courses.
