Dean's Message

According to the University鈥檚 2022-23 Career Outcomes Report, 97% of College of Engineering and Applied Sciences graduates have participated in experience-driven learning during their time at 澳门六合彩官网直播. Our students are gaining hands-on experiences through working in our labs, completing internships and participating in student organizations. In this edition of Inspire Magazine, you鈥檒l hear from a current industrial and entrepreneurial engineering student sharing her experiences working with a peer mentor, connecting with alumni, and completing multiple internships. You鈥檒l also get insights from a recent manufacturing engineering technology graduate about his time on the Bronco Racing Formula SAE team and how it paved the way for his full-time role as a manufacturing engineer.

You will also read about groundbreaking new research underway and the faculty members, graduate students and undergraduate students at the helm, including:

  • Four undergraduate students who participated in research internships and their unique projects 
  • A team of 澳门六合彩官网直播 researchers, including undergraduate and graduate students, who developed a novel and sustainable method for treating pollutants in water and whose research is being published in an upcoming edition of the Journal of Water Process Engineering
  • A group of aerospace engineering undergraduate and graduate students who traveled to France to present at the annual International Electric Propulsion Conference in June 2024

We remain focused on the future, actively expanding formal articulation agreements with partners such as Kalamazoo Valley Community College, Grand Rapids Community College and Kellogg Community College to provide students with seamless pathways into our programs. We are also pleased to announce that the accreditations for our engineering, engineering technology and computer science programs have been renewed by their relevant ABET commissions. This accreditation reaffirms the high quality of our offerings and underscores our commitment to delivering an education aligned with global standards, equipping students with the skills and experiences that strengthen their career prospects. 

We welcome you to visit our campus and see for yourselves what we offer and how we can partner to further support our students.

Cheers,
Steve Butt, Dean
