The Department of Engineering and Computing contributes to the liberal education of the students at the University by providing college-level instruction in the various disciplines of engineering and computer science, a relatively new but rapidly growing field of fundamental importance.
Utilize Logic and Science
In addition, the overall objectives of the department are twofold: (1) to develop skill and accuracy in mathematical operations and (2) to familiarize students with the methods computing, mathematical, and engineering analysis within the context of culturally relevant and a faithfully Catholic environment.
For the computing and engineering students, the aims of the department are to train students in the basic and necessary skills that will be required in technical and nontechnical pursuits and to bring out the cultural and applied values of the various subjects.
In addition to its own major and minor programs of study, the department instructs students who are pursuing different courses of study and recognizes that the instruction must be adapted as much as possible to the needs of these students.
The Mission
Guided by our Catholic faith, driven by innovation: we form virtuous engineering and computing professionals to serve the authentic good with skill and excellence.
Inspired by faith, driven by innovation: We form students to develop technology that serves the human person.
