From artificial intelligence and autonomous systems to quantum technologies, semiconductors, and healthcare solutions, leadership flows from engineers. Students from these high schools will be the ones to provide that leadership. As a land grant public university, we are proud to serve our state and offer them a world-class engineering education.
These schools, and their excellent teachers and staff, are essential links in our pipeline for funneling in-state talent into our undergraduate engineering programs.
