The goals enumerate our strategic focus for the next five years in the following areas: Research, Education, Global Presence and Mindset, and People and Culture. These goals are not inclusive of all the important work we are undertaking and will continue to undertake. Instead, they represent specific initiatives we have identified for their potential to produce outsized benefits for our global College of Engineering community, University, and world.
Research
Conduct research collaboratively, from the foundational to the applied, to solve large-scale and complex problems.
Education
Strengthen our educational offerings by embedding key mindsets and contexts in our curriculum and creating new interdisciplinary and modular offerings to educate engineering leaders.
Global presence & mindset
Strengthen our engagements globally—transcending geographic distance—to advance our global mindset, tackle global research challenges, and drive local and global economic vitality.
People & culture
Make CMU Engineering a place where all community members can thrive.
