Lincoln’s Introduction to Engineering (LITE), is a college-level course offered to Lincoln's 10-12th grade students. This innovative college-level course is taught at Brown University and is focused on learning, understanding, and applying engineering design principles to real-world applications.
Students get hands-on creating human-centered projects that allow them to learn the framework of engineering principles by researching, designing, and finally building. The curriculum covers and explores concepts like vectors, forces, circuits, electronics, cardiac tissue engineering, and clean room spaces in the Brown Engineering building. For some students, being part of this partnership is confirmation of lifelong aspirations. For others, it is simply a way to learn about a new field. Either way, each and every student will get something critical out of the class.
