Faculty & Staff

Mentors who know your name and your goals

The faculty and staff you’ll work with do more than teach courses and support programs. You’ll be known as a thinker, a builder and a person. Through small classes, research partnerships, advising and project-based learning, you’ll form close working relationships with mentors who challenge you, encourage you and support the path you choose.

Faculty bring expertise in fields such as engineering design, robotics, artificial intelligence, software development, data, environmental science and emerging technologies. Staff help you navigate academic opportunities, labs, research, internships and campus resources. Together, they create an environment where you’re noticed, supported and pushed to grow.
