It’s not going to be, ‘the faculty is worried about their research.’ It’s going to be, ‘how can I prepare this student, not only to become successful, but to ready them for the workplace and work on a team to come up with the best solution possible for whatever project they’re working on?’” Deyton Riddle, Class of 2018, Civil Engineering </blockquote>
<blockquote class="quote-block--simple"> “I got offered a job the week I graduated. The faculty prepare you for what the job looks like. It’s not just getting an education. This is real – what you’re doing in school is how you’d design in the field. I know that mentality got me the job I have today.” Ty Lee, Class of 2018, Civil Engineering </blockquote>
