The Olin curriculum is based on the idea that engineering starts with people-- understanding who we’re designing for, what they value, and where there are areas of opportunity --and ends with people-- understanding the social context of our work and making a positive difference in the world.
Olin College was founded because we believe there is a problem with undergraduate engineering education. The traditional curriculum is too narrow; it teaches students how to solve problems, but not how to find the right problems to solve, or how to get their solutions out of the lab and into the world.
At most schools, students spend the first semesters -- sometimes years -- taking prerequisites in math and science before they do any engineering. These programs discourage many of the students who are most interested in engineering.
At Olin, students start engineering right away, with three classes in the first semester that provide hands-on experiences in several areas of engineering. And throughout the curriculum, students stay engaged by working on projects connected to real-world challenges. Students begin to explore the arts, humanities, social sciences and entrepreneurship early on, and they are able to directly integrate and apply this learning in all areas of the curriculum. By their senior year, students are ready to solve real problems for companies and communities through the senior capstone engineering experiences (SCOPE and Affordable Design Engineering).
The academic culture at Olin is collaborative. Many of our classes are taught in a studio environment where students have dedicated space, and all classes emphasize classroom activity (not just listening) and cooperative exploration. Student have flexibility to choose projects that align with their interests; faculty act as coaches, mentors and advisers, providing just-in-time instruction and helping student teams find the resources they need.
The curriculum at Olin is interdisciplinary. Students in all majors take a common set of classes that connect areas of engineering and integrate math, science, humanities and social science.
Olin faculty work and teach together, bridging multiple disciplines. The faculty are organized as a single department that brings together engineers, scientists, mathematicians, arts and humanities faculty, designers, entrepreneurs, and social scientists. It is not unusual to take a class co-taught by faculty in two or more different disciplines -- a true integrated academic experience.

題目規則很多,像"no more than three words","use a word and/or a number"...
而且題目喜歡騙人,聽到那個字馬上就選你就掉入陷阱,注意下一句有沒有"but","however"

機車
我在大城市裡不常騎機車,只有去花東玩才會租
我發現很多人沒有兩段式左轉,90%人都超過速限,機車/單車道被臨停車擋住
(柯文哲推取消馬路停車格)
只好冒險地往內側車道移動,有時候馬路中央有車在迴轉,互不相讓時很恐怖
看到有些逆向機車、有些龜速騎邊滑手機
在鄉下,有些人不喜歡戴安全帽
機車擁有distorted convenience扭曲性便利 & door to door service 及門服務
缺乏管理
機車很方便,但我討厭排放廢氣的烏賊車、亂闖內車道、等紅綠燈時吸菸(要罰千元)、騎在斑馬線上的騎士,我個人不喜歡機車(劉金標也是),希望電動機車的配套能做好,落實在各大城市 滑板
