DartmouthX Digital Learning Iniative Teams Up With The Center for Cartoon Studies

ENGX Dartmouth and Cartoon Studies Team Up The DartmouthX Digital Learning Initiative teams up with the inventive The Center for Cartoon Studies (CCS) to use cartoons to convey engineering principles in its new edX course, The Engineering of Structures Around Us. When Dartmouth Professor Vicki May saw artwork by CCS graduate Katherine Roy, she knew the material would click into place like a keystone in an arch through the magic of words and pictures. Roy’s original drawings create a foundation throughout the six-week course, driving Professor May’s creative vision, and adding a distinct level of clarity and inquiry, and overall course visual engagement. We cannot wait to tell you more!  You’ll see the world in a whole new light whether you are driving your car over a bridge to noticing the subtle and nuanced differences in downtown buildings.

This introductory course promises hands-on and interactive learning of structural engineering concepts. Learn how engineers design bridges and buildings in our communities and iconic structures around the world. The free online course starts May 5th and runs for 6 weeks, sign-up here: edx.org.
