Mission
The School capitalizes on its engineering science tradition, a low student-to-faculty ratio and a rich liberal arts environment to give future professionals deep technical abilities, the capacity to adapt to the rapid changes in engineering, and the interdisciplinary background and aptitude for innovation that sets them apart from graduates of other engineering schools.
Vision
The School will positively transform lives and communities through innovative engineering education and discovery. Our goals are:
- To provide an environment conducive to learning, teaching and research. This includes a diverse and multicultural first-rate faculty, staff and students and state-of-the-art facilities.
