Fellows engaged full-time

LIFE offers the finest integrated engineering and leadership educational opportunity and best career options for genuinely exceptional fellows.

The distinctively unique and dynamic curriculum will provide for an interdisciplinary learning experience that bridges the gap between technical and management disciplines. Fellows also benefit from a stimulating learning environment with outstanding mentorship, instruction, and collaboration.

Subject-matter experts will cover a wide range of engineering topics to provide fellows with a strong foundation of knowledge and expertise. In addition to engineering instruction, fellows will also receive customized training in the leadership domain.

This includes the cultivation of career-ready capabilities that are necessary to become effective in high-performance work cultures. Amongst others, fellows will master critical communication, management, and strategic skills. The instruction will be conducted in a hybrid format. A preference will be applied for online sessions, but interested fellows may also participate in-person lectures.

All LIFE records will be stored in digital format, including information from admissions, registration, schedules, learning materials, transcripts, internal and external communications.

LIFE will function through its own official online platform and School Management System (SMS) tailored to its particular needs. In addition, LIFE will utilize a Learning Management System (LMS) for online learning purposes.
