The projects resonate deeply with our Jesuit Mission, in the following key areas:Forming Men for Others: Projects like assistive technology for individuals with disabilities, such as bottle openers and soap holders for arthritis patients, help students apply their skills to improve others’ lives.
Cura Personalis: By integrating disciplines like engineering, theology, and environmental studies, we nurture students’ personal and spiritual growth. This holistic approach fosters critical thinking, supports their unique journeys, and encourages a purpose-driven approach to innovation.
Pursuit of the Magis: Through engineering challenges and entrepreneurship, we encourage excellence and continuous improvement, pushing students to grow intellectually and personally.
Faith and Justice: Sustainability projects and renewable energy challenges help students integrate ethics and responsibility into their work, promoting the protection of the environment and addressing global challenges.
Collaboration and Community: The center brings together students, teachers, and community partners for collaborative projects.
Adaptability and Lifelong Learning: We prepare students for lifelong learning and adaptability by embracing evolving technologies and fostering a culture of growth, ensuring they continue to push boundaries
