A word from Director Tony Waas
“Hello and welcome to the School of Engineering for Matter, Transport, and Energy. Since joining the school, my goal has been to set the foundation for our students, staff and faculty to do their best work.
We already have the only ABET-accredited online undergraduate bachelor’s degree program in mechanical engineering, and I intend to make our high-quality education available to even more students from around the world through other online programs.
The biggest success for me would be that the students who came here during my time left as well-trained engineers who are confident to become future leaders and do things well.”
