From the Dean

College of Engineering website

Welcome!

The College of Engineering is a student centered, hands-on learning combined with foundational courses in mathematics and the sciences, is a hallmark of our programs. Engineers of the future will need to be well grounded in not just engineering and science principles, but they will also need a strong foundation in the humanities, ethics, leadership, lifelong learning – education of the whole person. Our curriculum and programs are constantly evolving to promote discovery learning, to effectively prepare students for engineering in the modern world and to provide a strong foundation of whole-person education.

In fall 2011 we will open a new home for the College of Engineering on the corner of 16th Street and Wisconsin Avenue. Daily we ask ourselves “What are we going to do in that building to change lives?” Energy, clean water, access to health care and food are global problems and we need to participate in finding solutions. Our new home will provide exciting opportunities for learning, research and collaboration for students and faculty alike.

College Mission Statement

The mission of the Marquette University College of Engineering is to excel in four critical areas:

• To prepare all students for successful careers based on a strong moral and ethical foundation
• To advance the state of the art in engineering
• To serve our professional and technical communities
• To contribute to our global society

These statements reflect the essential nature of the college. The motivation of the college centers about its desire to emphasize to the engineering community the intrinsic value of humankind and of the individuals who comprise it. This motivation flows directly from the fact that the college is an integral part of a Catholic, Jesuit university.
