Message from the Dean
The mission of the Edmund A. Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences is to promote and support the highest-quality research that addresses pressing societal challenges to advance education through engaging experiences and environments that foster critical thinking, creativity, ethical decision-making, and leadership, cultivating lifelong learners.
This is a lofty goal but one that we must achieve. Our future capacity to transform our world through technological innovations depends on new research discoveries. It also depends on educating students from a wide range of backgrounds who will be the next researchers, developers, entrepreneurs, educators, and leaders in engineering, and who have the passion to change the world.
The world needs more engineers with varied backgrounds and different worldviews. The world needs more engineers who care about the impact of our decisions on our environment, our place as global citizens, and our future. Engineers with strong values are the ones who will serve as catalysts for change.
In the Hajim School, we strive to provide our students the unique skills and the ability to work on teams with integrity, perseverance, and a commitment to the highest standards, that will lead to the next big breakthrough.
Are you ready to engineer the future?
Wendi Heinzelman
