A new Engineering Club founded by TNCC student Jason Colley is offering students an opportunity to explore this technology-based field outside of the classroom. The organization invites students in STEM-related areas of study to share ideas, collaborate on various projects, learn the newest technology and more.
Ji Hyon Mun, Associate Professor and Engineering Department Head, serves as the faculty advisor for the club. “They wanted to form a club so that they can do engineering applications outside [of] the classroom because you can know in the classroom they are pretty much confined to what I tell them and what I expect them to do; but out of the classroom they can apply whatever they’re learning from their other classes and have fun with it,” she said.
