Our Mission

The ultimate goal of the College of Engineering and Technology is to educate and graduate fully integrated individuals who possess the technical and social competence and confidence to succeed in professional practice and advanced education, to be life-long learners, and to exercise responsible citizenship. To accomplish this mission we have established the following objectives:

Our graduates should have:

1. Sufficient knowledge and understanding of the appropriate scientific and mathematical fundamentals upon which to develop their professional skills;
2.  Skill in integrating and applying knowledge to professionally define problems and produce efficient, economic, and effective solutions;
3. Effective written, oral and graphic communication skills;
4. Awareness and understanding of diverse cultures and social conditions, past and present, in which their professional and personal endeavors will take place in order to strengthen the values needed to enhance the quality of life and contribute to the general welfare of society;
5. A commitment to continuing professional growth and the ethical development of their chosen discipline.

The focus of the College of Engineering and Technology at Bradley University is undergraduate engineering education. Our faculty have achieved a high level of technical competence in their field, but are committed to teaching and mentoring students. The fact that the college has 800 undergraduate students in a university of 5000 undergraduates in five colleges allows us to provide an educational experience that contains many interdisciplinary aspects through collaborations with the other colleges. The campus has an atmosphere of open inquiry and exploration. This enhances the sound technical foundation that our engineering and technology students receive.

The engineering education program is demanding, but it develops broad skills in technical areas, an appreciation for the arts and humanities, writing and speaking skills, teaming skills, and problem solving skills and experience. All of these attributes are essential for success in today’s, and tomorrow’s, workplace.
