At the P.C. Rossin College of Engineering & Applied Science at Lehigh University, we believe that engineering is a liberal education for the technological era, and that an education founded upon this notion allows its students to generate innovation and drive economic value – the very heart of what it means to be an engineer.

Engineers are valued for their ability to design solutions to problems of all shapes and sizes -- from the structural and mechanical to the organizational, medical, political, and social. Engineering education thus instills a way of thinking that benefits leaders and innovators in any field, and is thus ideal preparation for careers in business, law, medicine, architecture, journalism, international relations, environmental remediation, public policy, and many others.

Although the market’s demand for technological proficiency continues to grow, students must be equipped with more than technical and analytical skills to succeed. Future engineers -- in fact, all of tomorrow’s leaders -- must learn how make wise financial, political, and cultural decisions as well.

We also believe that the future of innovation is at the intersection of what many consider to be engineering’s “traditional” disciplines, and thus we strive to create an environment where resources and scholarly interests are aligned to promote collaboration and long-term planning in key areas of existing strength in our academic community, as well as for emerging areas that are ripe for discovery and application.
