Congratulations to our extraordinary graduates across all interdisciplinary engineering
programs! It has been a great honor and privilege to work with you. The nature of this “new”
venture in engineering higher education means that you are all trailblazers. In addition to being
great scholars and engineers, you have shown courage and initiative. Your forward thinking that
is focused on problem solving and integrating all the best knowledge and skills regardless of
disciplinary source is an example of our best qualities to all in the engineering profession. You
truly are the future of engineering, and I can’t wait to see the great things in store for you (and
the rest of us) all.

Be lifelong learners — that’s my advice for you as you graduate. Whatever you do, never stop
learning, exploring, growing and challenging yourself to be your best.
Another piece of advice — be happy and stay calm in your work environment, because you will
be faced with a lot of challenges, both personal and technical.
Good luck and keep in touch.
