The Chief Engineers class has been updated as a Blended Learning Environment, in which traditional face-to-face instruction is also supplemented with specific computer assisted Learning. The purpose is to take advantage of the best features of both face-to-face and computer assisted learning in the same classroom setting. During class you will be given a set of credentials and guided how to log onto the platform. Once logged in, you will be instructed on how to use and navigate the system. Additionally, while performing some of the class exercises, you will be using various types of software for letter writing, email, budgets, presentations etc. With all that said, it would be advantageous if each member would bring their own laptop computer to class, being that some of these exercises will remain on the computer for the student's future reference. If you cannot bring your own laptop computer or you do not own a laptop computer, we can provide a computer for you to use during the class.
