VISION
UIC seeks to embody the ideal of a public university: to cultivate the highest intellectual ambitions of faculty, students and staff and, at the same time, contribute to the making of a more egalitarian society. We will be a resource and destination accessible to all who share our ambitions and have the desire to excel. We seek to be a leading research university and a great urban institution, taking advantage of the opportunities and needs presented to and by the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago. We believe that for this commitment to be meaningful in the 21st century, it must be both local and global, a commitment not only to Chicago, but to all the "Great Cities". The UIC College of Engineering wishes to contribute to the overall vision of UIC by helping to educate students for careers of leadership and innovation in engineering and related fields; bv expanding the base of engineering knowledge through original research, by developing technology to serve the needs of society; and by benefiting the public through service to industry, government and the engineering profession.
