Words of Wisdom

"I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering but realized I didn't have the skills to work on the inside of an engine. How could I design new engines if I couldn't fix one? I came to the College to work with industry-trained faculty and sophisticated diagnostic equipment, and to determine how I could make my designs practical, efficient and cost-effective."
