School of Engineering
By leveraging lab work and internships, our majors form relationships with colleagues and professors in other departments and universities to solve the 21st century’s grand challenges. Our students have joined an Antarctica-based science expedition, worked to improve a NASA mini satellite and revived a hydropowered electrical plant. Help build the projects than can change the world.
The Mission of the David Crawford School of Engineering is to:
- Prepare students to excel as engineers
- Provide a broad, fundamental, and practical engineering education
- Foster creativity and critical thinking in problem-solving
- Enable students to be leaders in their profession, community, nation, and the world
Design+Build Collaborative
For 20-plus years, Norwich’s Design+Build Collaborative has called on students to “act as well as conceive” and address Vermont community needs by constructing full-scale building projects. The Collaborative continues to design and prototype regionally informed projects, partner with community organizations and organize research across Schools.
