Preparing tomorrow’s leading engineers starts with state-of-the-art teaching and learning environments. Adaptable spaces and modern equipment are essential to collaborative research and transformative education. As our student enrollment and faculty ranks continue to grow, one of our highest priorities is to expand and revitalize our physical spaces—starting with the Engineering Student Design Center. Thank you for considering a gift to support our building and the people and programs within it.
