QEA IN A NUTSHELL

Quantitative Engineering Analysis (QEA) is an interdisciplinary, integrated, course for students to become proficient in learning new technical content and successfully completing projects that have a significant analytical component to them. This video summarizes some of the rationale and specific pedagogy behind the course.

Dry Erase Board Action!

Using whiteboards helps make it easier for students to share their ideas, encourages students to present their ideas systematically, and illustrate their views graphically.

Bridging Math, Physics, and Engineering

Quantitative Engineering Analysis is an interdisciplinary class in which students learn the basics of mathematics, physics, and engineering in and actual engineering context.

Virtual Labs

This video shows the "Robo Ninja Warrior" module in Olin College's Quantitative Engineering Course. We also included a sneak peek at the virtual labs we are creating for our "To Float a Boat" module.
