Industry partnerships

Engineers are the driving force behind our modern society. Many of us work collaboratively in multi-disciplinary teams, weaving solutions to complex problems no one person could solve. It is together that we innovate and build a bright future for our communities. Engineering for Humanity is the ideal that encompasses our mission and the positive impact engineers make in the world. We aim to produce engineers who contribute to society, serving humanity, in all aspects of their professional and personal lives.

Research focus areas

We are inspired by problems, seeing each as an opportunity for growth and discovery. Our college aligns its research within three thematic areas:

  • AI, Autonomy and Computing
  • Health and Medicine
  • Sustainability: Materials, Energy and Environment

As our faculty explore artificial intelligence and robotics, pharmaceutical manufacturing, cybersecurity, environmental sustainability, power generation, musculoskeletal research, and more, our students are right next to them, applying classroom theory through hands-on, experiential learning opportunities and both undergraduate and graduate research.
