An Engineering Perspective
Men in Engineering Learning Community
Established in 2005
Galileo
Galileo is designed to incorporate similar aspects of Hypatia, but with a focus toward issues that male engineers face in the growing competitive marketplace. Galileo students not only attend classes together; the learning environment now extends well beyond the classroom into the residential experience for Galileo participants.
The men’s learning community is
named for Galileo Galilei, a man who recognized the merit in describing physical
observation in terms of mathematics.
Albert Einstein considered Galileo to be
“… the father of modern physics--indeed of modern science altogether.”
Galileo developed the foundational ideas
for Newton's laws. In referring to his dependence on Galileo's work, Newton
wrote, "If I have seen further it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants."
We hope that your engineering learning community will support you similarly,
offering a view with an advantage--an engineering perspective.
