Why So Many Engineering Freshmen Fall Behind

Over 40% of engineering freshmen in North America either switch majors or drop out within the first two years.

No One to Guide Them

In college, there’s no one reminding them to stay on track. Engineering students are expected to work independently, often with tools and concepts they’ve never seen before.

Too Much, Too Soon

From circuits to coding, lectures to labs, projects to reports, everything starts at once. For many students, it’s not the difficulty, but the pace that makes it hard to keep up.

Confidence Drops Early

When they struggle in the first few weeks, get a C- on their lab report, even talented students start to doubt themselves. And that early loss of confidence is hard to recover from.

✨ The Right Preparation Makes All the Difference

Giving them the right tools, resources and materials early can make a world of difference.

Many engineering students struggle not because they aren’t capable, but because they weren’t prepared for what college expects. The good news is, you can change that outcome for your child.

What if your child could start university already confident with circuits, coding, and lab work? That’s exactly what Kris achieved: gaining hands-on experience and confidence with our beginner-friendly kits before stepping into his first-year engineering program.

A Solution for beginners

Why Choose this Kit?

These beginner-friendly kits were created to give high school students a head start in university-level engineering. Each kit combines practical circuits, coding, and hands-on experiments to build confidence long before their first college lab.

🎓 University-Aligned

Covers core topics like Basic Electrical Circuits and Microcontrollers directly matching 1st/2nd year EE/ECE courses. Gives students lab-style practice before they ever step into a university classroom.

🚀 Engaging Applications

Goes beyond math and theory with projects that show real-world applications of circuits and coding. Helps students enter university with curiosity, skills, passion and clear motivations.

💡 Complete & Cost-Effective

Includes equipment, tutorials, parts and online resources, everything needed for self-study. At just a few hundred dollars, it costs far less than private tutoring while delivering real hands-on skills.

Hear From Parents and Students

My son is entering UBC in this september, yet I can already see how well prepared he is. With EIM's lab kits, he’s been wiring circuits with skills, and following structured tutorials at home. He talks about engineering with excitement now, and I know he’ll walk into his first class with confidence.

Lina Yao / Vancouver

My daught started her 2nd year in electrical engineering. Because of she has done multiple labs and projects with EIM's kits, she was already comfortable with circuits and hands-on labs. While others were struggling, she felt ready from day one.

Rajesh Kumar, Parent / Surrey

I’m in my first year of EE at PSU, and Lab-on-the-go really helped me prepare. I could practice in my dorm before labs, so every time I walked into class I felt way more prepared than before.
