NEXT LEVEL STRATEGIC VISION FOR EDUCATION
The College of Engineering launched its new strategic vision for education. Education follows Research as the second of three pillars in our overall vision to take our college to the next level with a commitment to our core value: engineering a better world for all.
Our students are inspired continuously from their first day on campus until they cross the stage at graduation and beyond.

ON THE OUTLOOK FOR CALIFORNIA’S NATIVE FISH SPECIES THAT HAVE SUFFERED THROUGH DROUGHTS, LUND SAYS...
“They've been depleted for quite some time and over several droughts. They never seem to recover during the wet years as much as they decline during the dry years.”
[Cap Radio, 3/7/23]
ON WHETHER THE STATE CAN CAPTURE ALL OF THAT WATER FROM THE WINTER STORMS, LUND SAYS...
“In some places, almost all that water will be absorbed into groundwater because there's no other place for it to run off. And other places close to the ocean, there's fewer opportunities for it to be intercepted and recharged to groundwater, or to make it into streams before it makes it to the ocean.” [KCRW, 1/4/23]
ON WHAT CALIFORNIA’S WET WINTER DID FOR ITS WATER CRISIS, LUND SAYS...
"There's two kinds of water emergencies...when you have too much and when you have too little. And sometimes we have to worry about both in the same year. And this is one of those years." [CBS News, 3/9/23]
Three Themes for Engineering Education
With input from faculty, staff and students, we have identified three aspirational themes to build on this vision and inform our plan.
Inspired
Our students are inspired to cultivate a bold engineering identity through learning experiences that foster creativity, curiosity and awareness of their potential to change the world for the better.
Inclusive
Great minds don’t think alike. They think together. Our college is an inclusive, collaborative community, bringing diverse perspectives together to engineer a better world for all.
Impactful
Our students are prepared to be innovative and agile leaders who create solutions to the world’s grand challenges.
