Future Students

Engineering is essential to our health, happiness, and safety. Engineering is both a body of knowledge—about the design and creation of human-made products—and a process for solving problems.

Engineers help make the world a better place for all. They are creative problem solvers. Engineers design solutions under constraints. Constraints include laws of nature, or science. Other constraints include time, money, available materials, environmental regulations, ergonomics, manufactarability, and reparability. Engineers use science, mathematics, as well technological tools.

Technology, comprises the entire system of people and organizations, knowledge, processes, and devices that go into creating and operating technological artifacts, as well as the artifacts themselves.

Technology helps us solve problems and simply make our lives better and easier to live in some way. Humans create technology to satisfy their wants and needs.

Students can develop skills like leadership, mentoring, and public speaking outside the classroom. Create a map of the extra-curricular programs that can extend your classroom learning and prepare you for whatever lies ahead. You can engage in undergraduate research, become a peer tutor, join student organizations, join Engineering Projects in Community Service, and select from many more opportunities.
