Mission Statement and Vision
College Mission Statement:
Foremost, we will provide undergraduate education founded on a rigorous, applied treatment of engineering fundamentals coupled with modern engineering tools. The college of engineering is dedicated to providing excellence in aviation and space education, based in aerospace, mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering, demonstrated through quality teaching, scholarly activity, facilities, and curriculum.
College Vision:
The
college anticipates that the aerospace industry, its infrastructure, design
methodologies, and engineering tools will evolve quickly
with several very fundamental precepts for success. Among these is the premise
that engineers of the future will continue to rely on fundamental principles
and evolving contemporary computational tools to guide their choices. We therefore
choose to emphasize mathematics, engineering science, and engineering design
as a cornerstone for engineering education, with a focus on aerospace applications.
Our engineering programs will be recognized for their strong emphasis and rigor in engineering science and design founded on hands-on laboratory based education. The emphasis of these programs will continue to be preparation of students for professional careers in aerospace but with a broad enough engineering background to enable employment in related technical fields. We recognize that the aviation and space industries rely on many disciplines.
The college's vision is to contribute well-prepared professionals for early success in industry or graduate school. Our faculty is dedicated to educating engineers for the 21st century, without forgetting the lessons of the 20th century.
