H和s-on Experience

Wilkes University’s engineering programs combine small class sizes with advanced research 和 unparalleled h和s-on 学习 opportunities.

Students in our ABET-accredited program work one-on-one with expert faculty in traditional fields such as fluid mechanics, thermal sciences, 和 mechanical design 和 in cutting-edge fields such as microfluidics, robotics, 和 nanotechnology.

Our engineering faculty are active teachers who work closely with students in classrooms 和 laboratories. Labs are not taught by graduate student teaching assistants. As 的一部分 机械 EngineeringEngineering Management, you will graduate with confidence in your ability to underst和 和 solve problems because we will help you develop a mental discipline for critical thinking.

任务, 愿景 & 值

Our mission is to enable the professional development of students' abilities for analysis, design 和 innovation.

Our department emphasizes engineering as a creative, h和s-on profession. 团队合作, ethics 和 communication permeate the educational  experience to enhance the graduate's technical problem solving ability. Wilkes Engineering graduates will possess the vision, confidence 和 will to pursue 和 assume increasing responsibilities in engineering 和 leadership within a global context. 

Our vision is to be recognized as one of the finest engineering programs in Pennsylvania. 

We foster the values of Wilkes University: mentorship, scholarship, diversity, innovation, 和社区. Our unique contribution as an engineering department is that we  advance the university values in practical ways, specifically:

准备

Prepare students to enter the workforce as engineers with skills 和 knowledge relevant to economic, environmental, social, 和 global needs.

指导

Create a nurturing environment to help students reach their full potential in academics, innovation, 和 career aspirations.

完整性

Teach students to make ethical professional choices, 和 live this value ourselves in our interactions with students 和 with each other. 

Collaboration

Partner with industry 和社区 in order to improve our programs, find 和 fund research projects, 和 provide opportunities for  students.

H和s-on Experience

Encourage students to design, create, 和 experiment to reinforce their classroom 学习. 

社区

Design our programs 和 devise solutions to address challenges  within our community 和 improve the community through our involvement.

The professors have been excellent in allowing me to take whatever classes I have wanted, 和 allowing me to test my limits.
