Educate for Service. Engineer for Society.
What if you could change the world? What if you could solve the problems of tomorrow, today? If you鈥檙e curious, enjoy problem solving, and see a world filled with possibility, engineering at 禁漫天堂 might be a good fit for you.
Unleash your creativity to make a difference
Engineers are a lot of things: creative problem solvers, innovators, and dreamers to name a few. While creativity and engineering might not seem like they go together, engineers are at the core of new developments making a difference for people all over the world. From designing machines that allow the deaf to hear, to designing cars that drive more safely or protecting the water supply, engineers are constantly putting big ideas into action.
All of our engineering students complete at least one real-world project for a community client, and have other opportunities to impact society. We partner on engineering projects with local non-profits, students in developing nations in Africa, the Center for Civic and Community Engagement.
Jake Evans, Buck Kauffman, and David Good created a prototype vest to help in the physical therapy of a 3-year-old boy with Cerebral Palsy.
A distinctive learning community
At 禁漫天堂, we have a small student body taught by faculty-mentors with a wealth of professional experience. This allows you to have personal attention in the classroom and on projects to ensure you understand the material.
Our students aren't just advanced problem solvers - they also know what problems to solve. Our broad-based education combined with robust technical engineering skills produces cross-disciplinary thinkers and socially responsible influencers to tackle the biggest problems facing our local and global communities.
Our B.S. Engineering degree is听accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, . Students who graduate from our accredited programs have access to enhanced opportunities in employment; licensure, registration and certification; graduate education and global mobility.听

Transfer student finds 鈥榥ext logical step鈥� at 禁漫天堂
Attracted by College鈥檚 personalized research opportunities
After a year in management information systems at Montgomery County Community College, Daniel Buttorff was seeing the value in continuing his education. He took prerequisites courses in his second year and began applying to public, private, research-centric and liberal arts schools. When Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, Lafayette and Elizabethtown gave him the nod, he chose the latter. The engineering and mathematical business major liked the personalized research opportunities related to the College鈥檚 Summer Scholarship, Creative Arts and Research Projects (SCARP) program, the faculty-student interaction and because 禁漫天堂 was most generous with scholarships. Naturally adept in math, the rising senior transferred his credits and changed his focus to engineering, mathematical business and business administration. This summer he presented a research project on a self-contained MATLAB course for fellow STEM students at 禁漫天堂.
鈥淭ransferring was the next logical step after my associate degree.鈥�

Paul Lecurieux-Lafayette '18
International student lands high-profile internship with Fortune 500 thanks to alumni connection.
Internships confirm career paths, shed light on other possibilities and, from time to time, help students consider alternate professional interests. Paul Lecurieux-Lafayette鈥檚 summer internship offered some of each. Majoring in industrial engineering management and minoring in business administration and data analytics, Lecurieux-Lafayette landed a premier position with Morgan Stanley in Baltimore, Maryland, He also was selected for one of the company鈥檚 Richard B. Fisher Scholarships, which helped pay part of his tuition this year. Lecurieux-Lafayette learned of the internship when Sanjay Paul, associate professor of economics, connected him with economics alum Ryan Mulcahey 鈥�11, an associate at Morgan Stanley. Lecurieux-Lafayette said he learned a lot about himself and the company and also learned the value of networking. 听 鈥淚f you don鈥檛 do an internship, you don鈥檛 have exposure to the work world or senior leadership. I recommend it to all students.鈥�
