Dean's Message

In Conclusion

For over 60 years, the College of Engineering has operated on the principle of learn by doing. Our classrooms are not just about learning theory—students put what they learn into practice every day. Further, they’re taught by a diverse faculty body of both former practitioners who have spent years in industry and academics who are active researchers and scholars. Beyond the classroom, our dedicated staff are an impassioned group of advisors, administrators, builders, and more.

The stories in this year’s magazine are a sample of what learn by doing looks like here. The cover story highlights our burgeoning space programs and clubs. Our profile stories highlight two resilient women who built their own paths. Plus, we take a close look at our staff and alumni—two central pillars of the college’s community alongside our faculty and students. After reading this issue, we hope one thing is clear—we’re teaching the next generation of great engineers, and it’s what motivates all of us every day.

I hope you enjoyed this year’s issue, and if you would like to share your thoughts, please send them to engineering@cpp.edu.

Best regards,

Alison Baski, Ph.D.
Interim Dean
College of Engineering
