Engineering Students Earn College Credits

Through a partnership between the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center and the Rochester Institute of Technology, high-scoring Masters students are eligible for college credits in engineering. 

At the end of the 2019-2020 school year, 97 percent of the students in Sydney Kadiyala’s Engineering Drawing and Design and Principles of Engineering classes scored high enough to qualify for three college credits. 

For the fourth year in a row, Masters students have outperformed the national average by more than 20 percentage points, with an average end-of-course grade of 93 percent. 

In Kadiyala’s Engineering Drawing and Design (EDD) course, students work to independently develop, model and test a series of functional objects using household materials. In the first week of September, students created a device that launched objects across a room. Check out a video below of three student projects from Noah Lin ’23, Owen Edelson ’23 and Augusta Sykes ’24.
