Dean's Message, Spring 2024
The academic year is coming to an end, and as it seems to be the trend, it has approached way too fast! Newly admitted students have come out to catch a glimpse of campus life for next year, during Preview Day. The campus recently celebrated another successful Day of Giving; A heartfelt thank you to everyone who generously donated to help ensure that we continue to ‘Engineer with a Mission!’ Our seniors are ready for their Senior Design Conference presentations, and we all eagerly await the end-of-the-year events and celebrations.
In this issue of Engineering News, you can read about our alumnus who was one of five people to be selected by NASA for a simulated journey to the red planet Mars (pg. 2), student spotlight of our first graduate of the Masters in Aerospace Engineering program (pg. 6), associate dean spotlight (pg. 3), and more!
As a parting note, I will be stepping down as Dean of the School of Engineering at the end of the summer. After a sabbatical, I am looking forward to going on phased retirement and watching the School continue to flourish in the coming years!
Elaine P. Scott, Ph.D. | Dean
