Engineering can be described as “Science in Service to Society.” The College of Engineering and Applied Sciences is built to educate the next generation of innovators who will address problems of importance to society and build the national wealth. Starting from an existing core of strength in computational sciences and engineering, and identifying particular societal needs and opportunities in conjunction with colleagues across the university, the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences produces graduates prepared for successful careers in industry, government, academia, and research.

Mission

The mission of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences is to educate the next generation of engineering and scientific innovators, to conduct leading-edge research of societal significance within and across traditional academic disciplines, and to prepare our students to assume leadership positions in the creation, application, and use of technology. All our programs are constructed on rigorous scientific and mathematical fundamentals to prepare students for the arc of a three decade, or longer, career.
