Keeping pace with today’s fast-moving technologies and economy
Driven by technology, today’s rapidly changing economy places a premium on people who can solve complex problems, make data-driven decisions and put theory into practice. Those skills are the focus of the College of Engineering and Business. These two
academic disciplines are grouped together for a reason: collaboration between engineers and business leaders will drive the 21st-century economy.
Integrating advanced technology with dynamic faculty who excel in teaching, scholarship and service, the College of Engineering and Business offers:
- One of the largest educational computer facilities in the tri-state area. Student labs are open and staffed sixteen hours a day, seven days a week.
- Research laboratories for engineering and business students with the latest software packages.
- The attention of graduate schools such as Caltech, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Columbia University, and Rensselaer, all of which have recruited recent graduates.
- Student-centered faculty that will advise students as they map their way to a managerial or technical career – or both.
- Access to Erie's Central Business and Innovation District providing rich opportunities for internships at organizations in the public and private sectors.
- Senior capstone and senior design projects that integrate engineering and entrepreneurship.
