How is JMU Engineering preparing you for your future?
“JMU Engineering has provided me with countless opportunities to learn and grow through fellowship and the learning-by-doing curriculum. The program heavily emphasizes hands-on projects and team-based work, cultivating invaluable skills that I regularly use in and out of the workforce.
