CU SoEng Vision

Community Ethics Excellence Ownership Professionalism Relevance Resilience Service

School of Engineering Values

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

• ur state, our nation, the world.

Values - Community

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 - Ethics

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

• pportunities to grow, learn, give our

best effort.

Values - Excellence

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

• wn transformation into one worthy to

carry the name “Camel Engineer”.

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

• urselves and reflects the reputation of

the engineering profession as a whole, and upon which society depends for its well-being and advancement.

Values - Professionalism

Faculty emphasize the relevance of engineering knowledge and students push beyond superficial understanding. We will advance our understanding of relevance through involvement in professional

• rganizations, internships, and projects.

We will strive to apply our knowledge and skills to make a difference in our world.

Values - Relevance

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 - Resilience

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.

Values - Service

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.
