The transformational work of the University of Rhode Island College

of Engineering crosses academic disciplines, international borders and the boundaries of what just yesterday we thought impossible.

In the following pages, you’ll find a list of accomplishments reflective of the interconnected world in which we live. It’s an inspiring list and one that I hope allows you to appreciate the power of engineering.

Sincerely,

Dean Raymond M. Wright, Ph.D., P.E.Vincent & Estelle Murphy Chair in Engineering
