Why Anoka-Ramsey

  1. Project-Based Learning, Real-World Applications

    Anoka-Ramsey’s engineering program goes beyond traditional lectures. You’ll dive into hands-on design projects that build real-world skills right in the classroom. Create CAD-based, 3D-printed Pinewood Derby cars, develop microcontroller-driven devices, and even design and launch high-powered rockets through NASA-sponsored extracurriculars. You’ll gain experience with industry tools, software and project management processes that prepare you for the workforce or transfer to a four-year engineering program.
