Engineering & Applied Science

An in-depth experiential education in engineering and applied sciences provides the students with subject expertise within a broad academic foundation.

Engineering involves the creative application of tools from math and science to solve problems that confront humanity today. While these problems present technological challenges, each exists within a cultural, economic, historical, and ethical context; thus, an in-depth education in engineering must provide students with a broad academic foundation. At GSV, we ensure that the engineering students learn the fundamental principles of engineering sciences and apply that knowledge to engineering design and practice through advanced courses and independent work. Ample opportunities for study in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities complete a well-rounded experiential education that prepares students for a wide range of careers in transportation and allied industries.
