Description
Engineering is the application of math and science in the pursuit of solving problems. The field encompasses traditional understanding of engineers as builders, from the development of renewable energy technologies to the design of life saving medical devices. However, engineering extends beyond the creation of physical objects, and includes the development of systems, models, and algorithms designed to meet a specified need. Studying engineering at a liberal arts institution provides perspective on the development of technological innovations not in isolation but situated in a global context that requires an appreciation for human needs.
