Our role in the engineering talent pipeline is critical. We have the sightlines and connections into the K-12 system to identify and recruit engineering talent. We have the ability to hone that talent to the needs of businesses and industry through our academic programs. And, we have the connections to place that talent where it can have meaningful impact for our graduates, the businesses that hire them and the communities where they live. This building will support every future engineering student in the college by enhancing the hands-on approach to engineering education.
To meet the new and complex challenges of a world built on technology, our students need increased opportunities to roll up their sleeves and tackle real-world problems. The Funkhouser Building modernization will give them a space for that.
