Engineering Excellence
BCOE has made pivotal scientific breakthroughs that continue to shape the field of engineering — and our world. Students and faculty are asking and researching questions like: how do we stop biological time? And how do we build a world with zero traffic accidents and zero emissions?
Our students come to be a part of a community of researchers leading scientific breakthroughs. They leave having turned textbook knowledge into a lifelong purpose.
Scientific breakthroughs require evolving complex technology. Your support helps us maintain the resources we need to continue tackling tomorrow’s challenges today.
