Objectives of the College of Engineering

The College of Engineering strives to prepare its graduates to understand their roles in a technological society, to make constructive contributions to it, and to provide ethical and moral leadership in their profession and communities. It accomplishes this by various methods, but primarily by integrating into the curriculum the values and morality of the University’s Augustinian heritage. In addition to being professionally competent, graduates are expected to have an understanding of their professional and ethical responsibilities, the impact on engineering solutions in a global and societal context, a knowledge of contemporary issues, and an appreciation of humanistic concepts in literature, the arts, and philosophy.
