Community Ethics School of Excellence Ownership Engineering Professionalism Values Relevance Resilience Service
Values - Community We work together to learn, create, grow. We treat one other with respect and professionalism. We are conscious of our biases and work to create a welcoming, supportive environment for every student, faculty member, staff person. We work to understand the communities we serve. We engage with our local community in outreach and service. We engage with the global engineering community in our state, our nation, the world.
Values - Ethics We abide by the highest ethical standards in our work and dealings. We acknowledge the responsibility for the safety and lives of others which depend on our decisions and actions. We seek to prevent and mitigate harm. We work to understand and account for externalities in design. We acknowledge the obligation to consider impact of design on others.
Values - Excellence We strive for excellence (not perfection) in our work, acknowledging that it is deserving of our best efforts. We strive to cultivate a sense of personal excellence – an intrinsic motivation to continue seeking out opportunities to grow, learn, give our best effort.
Values - Ownership We take ownership and personal responsibility of our education: our learning, attitude, quality of work, professional development, growth in and outside the classroom, technical and non-technical skills, interpersonal skills, ethics and professionalism - our own transformation into one worthy to carry the name “Camel Engineer”.
Values - Professionalism We acknowledge that engineering is a profession , not a job. We are held to a higher standard, a higher purpose, a higher code of conduct, which transcends ourselves and reflects the reputation of the engineering profession as a whole, and upon which society depends for its well-being and advancement.
Values - Relevance Faculty emphasize the relevance of engineering knowledge and students push beyond superficial understanding. We will advance our understanding of relevance through involvement in professional organizations, internships, and projects. We will strive to apply our knowledge and skills to make a difference in our world.
Values - Resilience We acknowledge that problems and failures provide opportunities for insight and improvement if we maintain an open mind and a positive attitude. We will not be afraid to try, we will not be deterred by failure, and we will not give up. We will learn, grow and try again.
Values - Service We acknowledge that engineering is a service discipline, that service demands humility and requires partnership with those we serve, and that engineering provides us with both the ability and responsibility to leave our world a better place than before.
Becoming Engineering school is not, essentially, about classes, homework, and extracurriculars – it is about what and whom those activities can help you to become. Our values and classes will guide your growth and your transformation. This always takes time and effort and struggle. Many of you will not “feel like an engineer” for years. You can feel, truly, that you are becoming an engineer, right now.
