 Thank
you for your interest in membership
in our society. It is an exciting time for the College of Engineering at
Villanova.
Enrollment continues to increase as a result of the quality programs
and due to the continual high marks the College receives from the US News
Surveys and rankings. Villanova Engineering is a desirable choice for many
high school graduates and our Society aids in the recruiting efforts by
offering grants to the best and brightest of the incoming freshman.
The curriculum is expanding to offer newer courses and disciplines. The
engineering department recently added a
PhD program for
the first time in our history.
Student projects are
an exciting part of the experience at Villanova and the scope and ambition
of these projects is ever increasing. Our Society helps fund these programs.
A few worth noting include the
concrete
canoe, a
mini-baja
racer and trips to Guatemala and
Honduras for students to
assist in the construction of much needed facilities. A project to build
a Formula race car is in the works. Members are kept apprised of the progress
of these projects via the web page and access to student reports. The student
projects are displayed each year at the Alumni Banquet in June.
We recently celebrated our 100th anniversary of Engineering at Villanova.
Our Society was active in a number of the Centennial events. In addition,
the school has named a new Dean, Gary Gabriele.
Please feel free to navigate this website to get a feel for some of the
exciting activities that are taking place at the College. It is truly an
exciting place to be right now.
If you are already a member, thank you for your generosity and kind support.
If you area considering joining, rest assured we will be careful stewards
of your generosity and will gladly welcome you to the ever growing community
that is Villanova Engineering.
Sincerely,
Matthew Marquardt, CE '86
EAS President
