  Engineers and computer scientists are people who combine concepts from science, math,
art, humanities and business to create functional products and processes for the betterment
of society. Just as society's needs are changing due to climate change, technological
advances, resource scarcity and social changes, the approaches we use to create those
products and processes must also change. Indeed, the discipline of engineering itself
must change. UAF's College of Engineering and Mines is hastening that change by creating
Alaska's engineering workforce of tomorrow.
