Community, Culture, and Engagement
We believe in the inherent value of all people and that the many perspectives that diversity brings are what so often elevate good ideas to become great ones and provide pathways for progress that might otherwise remain unseen. We are committed to building a college culture of respect, mutual learning, and community engagement that supports every student and scholar.
Within The Robert Mehrabian College of Engineering, we believe that richly varied perspectives and lived experiences enhance creativity and innovation, resulting in solutions that are more meaningful and have a greater positive impact, because they arise from a broader understanding of what constitutes the greater good and from an expanded awareness of who benefits from technological advances.
Our goal is to continue supporting, validating, and honoring all individuals, as well as the tremendous variety of their lived experiences and the contributions arising from them. We aim to achieve inclusive excellence, creating an environment where teaching, research, and innovation thrive because of the broad range of talents, backgrounds, and perspectives we bring together.
Please, follow the links on this webpage to learn more about the college and university's programs, and to find helpful resources that are available to ensure that engineering benefits everyone.
