CofE | College of Engineering | University of South Florida

Today’s engineering student...
has high expectations and specific interests. Their concern for the earth and its humanity is driving the explosive growth in the study of sustainability and renewable energy sources. As educators it is our responsibility to tap this enthusiasm by offering educational experiences beyond the classroom – from the research lab to digging wells that provide clean water and improved sanitary conditions for an African village. Armed with hands-on research experiences integrated with an interdisciplinary education, our 21st century graduates enter the engineering profession better prepared to fulfill their career aspirations and make a profound impact on the world.

The mission of the College of Engineering at the University of South Florida is to improve the quality of life in our community by:

Providing a high quality education for our students and practicing professionals
Creating new knowledge and solving real world problems via innovative research
Engaging in effective community service and outreach.

By providing a relevant, high quality educational experience for our students and by being a leader in innovative research in the areas of sustainability, renewable energy and biomedical engineering, the College of Engineering aspires to be a peer among engineering programs at research-focused public universities.
