Do More Than Just Engineering

Your Options Are Only Limited By Your Interests

...Dance?! You bet. Business? Sounds like a great combination. Music Recording? We want to enhance your engineering education by encouraging you to explore additional academic opportunities. It's what we call "Engineering +." It's the first part of an equation where you fill in your variable to define your version of a holistic education. An interdisciplinary education gets you started on the right foot toward problem solving in a world that doesn't define it's problems by a singular discipline.
