Dean's Message, Fall 2023
This Fall, we delightedly welcomed the class of 2027 and four new tenure track faculty members, along with our returning students, faculty, and staff. We also had the pleasure of hosting over 160 engineering alumni/ae and their guests at Grand Bash 2023: A Season of Gratitude. I am thankful for all who attended and made the night truly remarkable.
Over the summer, we continued to formulate the School's four goals and brought them together in "Engineering Forward." Encapsulating the School of Engineering’s mission and vision, with a keen focus on our goals to Educate, Lead, Discover, and Cultivate, Engineering Forward serves as the cornerstone of our collective vision of an engineering community that inspires and develops engineering leaders of competence, conscience, and compassion—entrepreneurial thinkers who will build a more just, humane, and sustainable world.
I encourage you to read the stories in this edition of our Engineering News showcasing the essence of "Engineering Forward" in action: From Santa Clara’s youngest graduate, who started his engineering career at the age of 14, to our newest faculty CAREER Award winner. Enjoy!
