Excellence and Innovation in Engineering Education

Here's what TCU engineering
students are saying...


"Having small classes allows professors to teach and interact with students on a more personal level.  They're able to adjust to each student's individual learning style."
Kathleen Vigerie,
Class of 2000



"Unlike some of the larger engineering programs, you get to know all of your classmates and work with them as a group to solve problems."
Fabio Goncalves,
Class of 2001






"The professors are very flexible and willing to work with you to make sure you understand the material.  They want you to have the skills and knowledge you need to succeed after college."
Tracy Haverty,
Class of 2002

Here's what industry
leaders are saying...

"Watching the TCU engineering program grow is somewhat like watching your kids and grandkids group up.  It is a program to be proud of and provides satisfaction to the people involved."
Marvin Gearhart, CEO,
RockBit Industries

"(Your students') composure impressed me.  You must have prepared them for everything.  I would rate their performance and professionalism as outstanding.  You and Texas Christian University have done a great job."
Billie Chitwood, Senior Engineering Specialist,
Bell Helicopter Textron

"It's an excellent program, turning out an excellent product.  I've been impressed with both the mechanical and electrical engineering skills the students acquire.  (The senior design project) is by far the strongest part of the program.  The exposure to a multifaceted design team setting is invaluable in developing not only one's technical side, but also in bolstering communication and interpersonal skills."
Leo Yenderusiak, Plant Manager,
Corning Cable Systems

Here's what TCU engineering graduates are saying...

"The senior design course gives you a chance to flex your teamwork and project management skills for the first time.  Working under time, budget and resource constraints with a real-world customer as part of a project team is where the challenges truly are.  I draw upon the experiences I had in that course every day."
Josh Wilken '96,
Corning Cable Systems

"As an engineer who graduated from TCU's program, I feel I have gained the skills necessary to learn just about anything.  TCU provided me with a great foundation of knowledge, and the ability to utilize my skills to learn about and implement the old and new technologies that are facing today's business world."
Francisco Varela '99,
Lockheed Martin
