Learn all about the Gordon Engineering Leadership Program

January 24, 2013

The Bernard M. Gordon Engineering Leadership Program will host an information session (with lunch) for Edgerton Clubs and Teams on Thursday, Jan. 24 from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. in Building N51 (first floor common area).

The GEL program prepares next-generation technical leaders by helping them understand and address significant engineering problems in real-world situations. Past Clubs and Teams participants in GEL will speak briefly about how the GEL program has helped them.

With guidance and support from GEL, MIT's Design/Build/Fly Team constructed a remote control airplane for the annual AIAA Design/Build/Fly Competition. GEL also supported the Edgerton-sponsored Formula SAE team which placed 16th out of 120 teams in the 2012 FSAE competition in Michigan.
