Electromechanical Engineering Faculty & Staff

Our faculty members are dedicated to student success. They bring their real-world experience into the classroom and offer personalized academic support.

"Within the School of Engineering and Computational Sciences, we offer an academic rigorous education, taught in an accessible manner, by faculty with training in engineering education. You will not only get textbook knowledge, you will get hands-on training. For example, in the final exam for my Introduction to Robotics class - students must build an autonomous lightweight BattleBot that they design and fabricate themselves. 40% of their exam grade is how well their BattleBot does in a round-robin competition with their classmates."
