Undergraduate Students
With an undergraduate curriculum flexible enough to allow students to minor and double-major outside their primary area of study, the Engineering School gives students the opportunity to master analytical and technical engineering skills while also benefiting from the depth and breadth of a liberal arts education in a thriving university community.
The curriculum emphasizes leadership, innovation, technical expertise, written and oral communications, ethics, teamwork, project management, public policy and business. We don't just graduate competent engineers. We graduate leaders of innovation who transition seamlessly into professional environments and who have the strong foundation needed to succeed in advanced study in engineering and a range of professions including business, medicine and law.
