The College offers a wide range of fully accredited programs from the bachelor's level to the Doctorate in Engineering. College programs emphasize applied, hands-on engineering education which balances theory and practice and makes its graduates highly marketable and employable. The College's educational mission is strongly supported by its senior faculty and energized by newer faculty. There are valuable opportunities for faculty development through the applied research program of the Advanced Manufacturing Center, NASA , and local industrial concerns including Rockwell, Stearis Corporation, Marconi Medical, TRW , and Keathly. The College's Visiting Committee is deeply committed to making a positive contribution to the College and the University.
Engineering students are mature, motivated, and work hard to succeed.
The high level of interaction between faculty and students encourages intellectual exchanges and group learning. The College has been working aggressively to reverse the enrollment decline of previous years, and has some recent success to show for its efforts. The College will continue its efforts to attract more qualified students through scholarships and various marketing strategies. A new bachelor's degree program in the high demand field of Computer Engineering should strengthen the College's overall curriculum, and attract more undergraduate students. The partnership with Cleveland Clinic's Biomedical Engineering Department should increase the visibility and attractiveness of graduate study in the College.
