Our foundation: At the heart of CISE is a clear vision, mission, and set of goals that shape our programs and guide our community.
We emphasize hands-on learning, supported by talented faculty who bring expertise from various applied science and technology fields and a genuine passion for teaching and innovative pedagogy.
We integrate the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into our coursework and research. This connection adds real-world relevance and social impact, demonstrating how our efforts can contribute, even on a small scale, to important global goals. Read more.
As a community, we harness scientific and technical knowledge to identify, analyze, and solve significant societal problems.
Our students are adaptable problem-solvers who combine expertise with a broad perspective. They can think independently and collaborate effectively in teams, tackling challenges at any scale, atomic or global. We aim to cultivate creative, thoughtful change-makers who are intellectually curious, pragmatic, and resourceful. Our graduates are fully prepared to dive into projects and make a meaningful impact.
Our faculty are passionate about promoting academic excellence within classrooms at JMU and through our K-12 outreach education. Our community welcomes talented individuals from all backgrounds and life experiences, enabling them to contribute to solving the critical problems of our time using science, engineering and technology.
Our small class sizes and innovative curricula foster a rigorous and supportive learning environment. We offer a wide range of engaging learning experiences, including student research, capstone projects, internships, and study-abroad opportunities. By working closely with partners near and far, our programs actively identify and address real-world problems.
Our academic programs are designed to address cutting-edge solutions for pressing human problems while fostering a deep understanding of the surrounding environment. We offer exceptional technical curricula rooted in a meaningful liberal arts foundation.
