Make an impact on your future "I know pretty much all of the engineering professors, and I can build that relationship with them. When you have that, you’re not afraid to ask questions. Talking with a bunch of other students going to other schools, they don’t have that." -Khalil Ruiz '25, BS in Mechanical Engineering, BS in Industrial Engineering Visit campus "I really enjoyed when we built a bench in my sophomore design class. Getting to go through that whole design process from start to finish and actually build the bench at the end of the semester and see it around campus now is really cool. Another class I really enjoyed was mechatronics, getting to build and code a robot to maneuver around a little course. We had a competition at the end of the semester." -Katey Harrison '25, BS in Mechanical Engineering Request information "The class sizes are small and you can pretty much talk to everyone in that classroom. You won't feel like you're by yourself.
