“The Department of Physics & Engineering’s principal goal is to prepare graduating students to compete successfully for desired professional positions or to be accepted into highly selective graduate programs.  This is achieved by challenging our students with a significant and complete education in engineering and the sciences within a close-knit, safe, and personal environment, integrated by the rich atmosphere and liberal arts curriculum of the College.  Our programs are born of a sense of cooperation between professors and students, and between student peers.  In our cooperative environment, we motivate students to become increasingly self-aware independent thinkers and to develop teamwork and communication skills.  While technical and scientific competence is the bedrock of our students’ competitiveness, students also develop distinctive traits of caring and collaboration, which are becoming increasingly important in a world striving for meaning, harmony, and peace.  The knowledge, skills, and character development attained by our students yield a sense of self-assurance founded in professional success and personal fulfillment.”
