Step One to Apply to IRE: Become a Bell Scholar

Why Join the bell scholar community
​The Bell Scholars community is the first step towards joining our innovative family. The goals of the Bell Scholars community are:
  • Setting expectations for engineering as a profession and the workload of an Iron Range Engineering student engineer.
  • Preparing students for the Bell Academy and their Co-Op job search.
  • Evaluation, both of the students by the program and by the students of the program.
  • Building a community of peers, and building trust between students and staff.

The first semester in our program is called the Bell Academy. The Bell Academy is an accelerated development semester in which students are rapidly prepared to thrive in the professional world of engineering. Students experience great amounts of growth in professionalism, open-ended problem solving (Engineering Design), and technical engineering principles. The pace is very similar to the pace of industry to get students accustomed to the pace they will experience in their final four semesters of school.
​
Class sizes are small, so we can give students the best experience possible, so spots are limited. Join us as soon as possible in your academic career to ensure you are completing the proper prerequisite courses and reserving your spot in this world-renowned program!
