College of Engineering, University of Arizona

My name is Jeff Goldberg. I am the dean of Engineering. Welcome to the U of A. If you want to help people, then engineering is the career for you. Every key societal problem across the planet, has an engineering component. When you come to the University of Arizona, there is a real advantage to be able to be with the strongest set of students, the strongest research faculty and teaching faculty, and an incredibly hardworking staff, that are here to guarantee your success, and to help you do the kind of things you want to do. Our students, academically, are as good as any on the planet.

We take our undergraduate mission extremely seriously, and that means our full professors are in the classroom. We have tenure track faculty teaching our freshmen, our sophomores, our juniors, and our seniors. Our faculty are engaged in undergraduate education. Our faculty engage in the research mission. We do everything in our power to get students engaged in that as well. You're interested in engineering, but you don't really know the major. Relax. We try to bring every student in the college in as engineering, no major selected. You can spend the entire first year trying to figure out what you're interested in.

I think what really what really makes the University of Arizona special for undergraduate students is the way our faculty are involved, and we are going to work our butts off to make sure that you're learning, that you're well connected, that you've got some ideas of what you can do when you're done, and, all around, have an experience here that will help you grow as a person, as well as grow as a professional. So, when you come here we're going to help you make those steps, sometimes they may be small at the beginning, but in the end they are going to be incredibly large. And you are going to be successful, and get to the place you would like to be when you are going to graduate here. I am Jeff Goldberg. I am the dean of the College of Engineering at the University of Arizona.
