Engineering Program

Engineering is the practical application of math and science to solve problems. Engineers are problem-solvers who make things work faster, cheaper, and more efficiently. Technologies developed by engineers improve the ways that we live, communicate, work, travel, stay healthy, and entertain ourselves. From computer chips to cellphones and buildings to automobiles, engineering makes every aspect of our modern life possible.
