About the College

The College of Engineering and Computing (CEC) offers high-quality professional education in engineering and computer science, integrated with Miami University's traditional strength in liberal arts. Our students are focused not just on acquiring technical knowledge but on engineering design and experiences mimicking professional practice, even in the first year. We spare no effort in preparing students for a lifetime of learning and growing, where they can tackle challenging societal problems. Join CEC and graduate with the skills you need to be ready for your first job and a rewarding career.

Our Mission

Our mission is to serve society by providing high-quality undergraduate and graduate education in engineering and computing. We are committed to creating an environment for teaching, learning, and scholarship that is intellectually stimulating, interactive, and innovative in which students, faculty, and staff realize their full potential. Our guiding principle is to provide professional education integrated with Miami University's traditional strength in liberal education.

We work continually to assess and improve teaching, learning, and critical thinking; to engage in scholarship of discovery, application, integration, and teaching; to contribute to the accumulated knowledge of the centuries through faculty and student research; to encourage creativity; and to promote the continuing intellectual growth of our community.

Thoughts from the Dean

Academic institutions that will thrive and persist through the next 100 years will look different from the institutions that have thrived and persisted in the past 100 years. The winds of change are blowing and this includes the demographic cliff, which is almost upon us, and the changing educational landscape. Institutions that adapt quickly and are nimble and agile will thrive in this new landscape.
