Engineers devise creative applications of scientific
principles for the betterment of society through tech-
nological development. They do this by discovering
methods of transforming resources into useful prod-
ucts, systems, and services that are used in every facet
of life: housing, transportation, space exploration,
medicine, manufacturing and automation, and
communications. The marvels of engineering are
everywhere.
An engineer bridges the gap between basic scientific
research and industrial applications, helping to bring
innovative ideas into society to benefit everyone.
Objectives
The college faculty strives to prepare students for their
role as productive members of society by providing a
comprehensive education.
Students first master the scientific principles upon
which engineering is based and then examine the
industrial and social structure that regulates the appli-
cation of science to community life. Most important,
they experience engineering and its creative nature as
part of the learning process.
Recipients of a Bachelor of Science in Engineering
have many options: employment in industry or govern-
