<p>DS is in Project Lead the Way, an engineering program at his HS, and is an officer of the engineering club. He's not a tech geek, and actually enjoys his business classes even more. Our school principal wants to renovate the aging auditorium. Like most such rooms, it's a large underutilized space. She wants to adapt it to be usable as a lecture hall at times, while still housing concerts and the usual stuff. Through their teacher, she asked the engineering students design ideas for new seating. DS came up with the best idea of the group. They are now designing a prototype which will be built by 3D printer, and they will present their idea to the school board.</p>
<p>My older S was admitted a few years ago to Lehigh's Integrated Business and Engineering program. He chose not to attend, but the program really impressed. For admitted student day, we got a taste of how they integrate the subjects. IBE students worked in teams, each designing and engineering a new product to solve a need, and a business plan to bring it to market. For college kids, they were very impressive. I mentioned to DS that this auditorium project is similar to what we saw at Lehigh. He just engineered a potential solution to a problem, and now has to propose it to a "customer" in the school board. He said this is what he wants to do in college, do the engineering but also the business side. Unfortunately he doesn't care for Lehigh, so my question for the experts here, how or where can he study business while also learning about the engineering side? </p>
