Lives Improve Through Engineering & Science

How do engineers prevent injuries by designing airbags and car seats? Or improve lives by repairing joints, limbs and organs?

Designed for young women, the LITES program explores the role that math, science and technology play in the development of innovations that make the world a better place. All classes and labs are taught by our amazing faculty. Students will also have opportunities to strike up meaningful relationships with female mentors.
