In Their Words

LVC, its faculty, and the 3+2 Engineering Program gave me a well-rounded physics and engineering education. Having a liberal arts degree and an engineering degree is an advantage compared to many other engineering graduates. I would recommend LVC’s 3+2 Engineering Program to anyone interested in the engineering fields.
Cale Newswanger ’00, Engineering Business Leader, Procter and Gamble
At LVC, we train the next generation of scientists. Our students cultivate skills in the classroom and research labs that will take them far. It is gratifying to work with a student for several years in the classroom and lab and see that culminate in co-authoring a journal article and seeing them present research at a major conference. Following their accomplishments after graduation is also rewarding.
Dr. Keith Veenhuizen, Associate Professor of physics
