Dean's Welcome

Welcome to the College of Engineering and Science at Florida Tech!

As the primary home for science, engineering, and advanced research on campus, the College of Engineering and Science (COES) is where relentless curiosity pushes the boundaries of science and technology every day. 

I am proud and genuinely excited to step into the role of dean and lead such a vibrant community of thinkers, makers, explorers, and problem-solvers. We are living through a time of rapid, exciting transformation. The challenges facing our universe, from the microscopic building blocks of life to the farthest reaches of the cosmos, require bold ideas, rigorous science, and innovative engineering. Here at COES, we strive to build that future. 

We believe that you learn best by actually doing. Our approach is rooted in the conviction that theory and practice belong side by side, brought to life through design studios, high-tech labs, and hands-on discovery. Whether engineering the next generation of aerospace vehicles, writing algorithms that will shape artificial intelligence, probing the mysteries of the universe, or designing sustainable systems, we turn imagination into reality. Yet, behind every one of these, there is something even more powerful: our people. 

Our faculty are not just leading researchers and teachers, but they are also dedicated mentors who care deeply about every student. To our incoming students, faculty, and the entire community: this is an invitation to dream big, tackle complex challenges, and look upward with real ambition. 

Welcome to the College of Engineering and Science. Let us build a better tomorrow, together.
