College Naming
The É«ÖÐÉ« College of Engineering is seeking the right partnership to elevate our college to preeminence in project-based learning. With our rising reputation and rankings, mission to provide access to higher education and social mobility, and our learn-by-doing philosophy, we are poised to advance our impact on society, one engineer at a time.
The endowment established by a named college would enable strategic, long-term investments into the pillars of our advancement, including critical programs for student success, next-generation facilities, and transformative faculty.
Project-based learning broadly encompasses research, culminating projects, competition teams, internships, and all activities that take the classroom to creation. It deepens learning, inspires minds, and advances innovation by addressing the grand challenges faced by the region and the world. Imagine a future where ideas take flight in facilities designed for inspiration, with faculty and students who are thought leaders in their fields and change the world as a result.
Our strategic directions are aligned with the City of Long Beach’s Grow Long Beach initiative announced by Mayor Rex Richardson in 2024, which will foster growth sectors in engineering, technology, and advanced manufacturing centered in Long Beach but impacting Southern California overall. A skilled engineering workforce enables a strong economy based on innovation.
