We undertook that merger, of course, because we believed that it was the best path to our continuing success and growth in Architecture, Engineering, and Computer Science, and because we believed that we could only continue to grow, to flourish, and to offer you the best possible technical education as part of a new and larger institution. Merging is a challenge, but this merger is paying dividends. To those of you who are considering careers in Engineering, welcome to these web pages.
Engineering is a challenging profession because it makes a difference to everyone's lives.
Our work brings the fruits of science and technology to society through design. Our mission is to find solutions to the problems society faces at a reasonable price to the consumer, at a profit to our employers, and to the benefit of the internal and external environments we all share. Our payoff is the sure knowledge that our efforts can make a positive difference to the lives of those around us and leave the world a better place. You, as engineers, will work on our future, imagine a better tomorrow, and make it possible. Your work will enable better ways for us to live, to communicate with each other, to earn our livings, to mediate the damage humanity does to this third rock from the sun, and to provide the supplies, services and environments we all rely on.
