The optimist says "The glass is half full." The pessimist says "The glass is half empty."
The ENGINEER says…"That glass is twice as large as it needs to be."
CEAS Mission
• To educate our learning community for life-long excellence in responsible professional leadership.
• To increase knowledge through collaborative discovery, integration, application, and teaching.
• To serve as a resource and partner to our constituents.
• To prepare job-ready graduates for the global market.
Parkview Campus• The Business, Technology, and Research Park is located
nearly 3 miles from WMU’s main campus.
• Features over 30 companies in the engineering, technology, and life sciences
• Recognized by the State of Michigan as an economic “Smart Zone”.
• CEAS is housed in a $100 million facility with over 75 labs.
Parkview Campus
• Bus connects Main Campus and Parkview
• Classes on Main Campus on the hour; classes at Parkview on half-hour
• Career guidance
• Co-op Opportunities
• On site Café
Industrial & Entrepreneurial Engineering• New major in Fall 2008• How-to-do engineering vs. What-to-do engineering
•How-to-do has been getting outsourced (automation, repetitive tasks)•What-to-do focuses on innovation and front-end skills.
What’s new at CEAS?
KCC Joint Admissions Program• For Engineering and Technology students only• Students must be admitted to both WMU and KCC• Ensures course articulation and seamless transfer to WMU CEAS
CAPE – The Center for Advanced Printed Electronics• Run through our Paper, Chemical, and Imaging Department• Focuses on printing electronics such as RFID tags, integrated circuits, and solar cells
What’s new at CEAS?WMU College of Engineering and Applied Sciences Dean:

Differences among science, engineering, and applied sciences?
Scientists figure out how things work.
Engineers design things that work.
Engineering technologists & applied scientists implement designs and processes to make things work.
What distinguishes WMU-CEAS?
• 13 ABET accredited programs
• Design-build-present experience
• Advising by faculty and professional staff
• Extensive laboratory (hands-on) experience
• On-the-job experience (Co-op, interns)
Our Philosophy is "Learn Engineering by Doing Engineering"
• Class Projects
• Design-BuildCompetitions
• Student Organizations
