We transform society through disruptive discoveries at the College of Engineering and Applied Science. Students and faculty create bold, new solutions that impact everyday lives — think innovative manufacturing technology, life-saving devices, health-tracking sensors, and preparing for the next pandemic. Our research touches every aspect of life, all in an effort to take our community to the next level. Next lives here.


Our faculty, staff, and students are committed to turning research investment into meaningful benefits for people and communities.
