The JETS TEAMS (Test of Engineering Aptitude, Mathematics, and Science) Program illustrates engineering work in a realistic way. TEAMS is an open-book, team-discussion-focused academic competition, in which students solve real-life engineering problems. Students are challenged to use higher order thinking and logic to solve realistic problems. TEAMS problems are indicative of the level of rigor found in first semester engineering courses.
