Dean, College of Engineering
role at
California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), a distinguished public undergraduate and master’s level institution located in San Luis Obispo, California, seeks a strategic and collaborative leader to serve as its next Dean of the College of Engineering (CENG). The CENG offers a wide range of highly-ranked programs across engineering and computer science that provide students with an outstanding applied education through its renowned “Learn by Doing” philosophy. The dean will build on the College’s success while supporting Cal Poly’s distinct mission, values, and clear vision of being the nation’s premier comprehensive polytechnic university that develops and inspires whole systems thinkers to serve California and the world. For over a century, Cal Poly’s “Learn by Doing” philosophy has prepared students to be leaders and problem solvers in an increasingly complex world. The CENG is central to this mission, allowing their students to innovate, design, and create sustainable solutions to real-world challenges. The College offers 14 bachelor’s and 11 master’s degree programs across engineering and computer science disciplines, all of which offer a hands-on approach to learning and allow students to gain impactful practical and scholarly experiences that prepare them to successfully work and solve global challenges. The dean will be joining Cal Poly at an opportune time, as the College has a solid foundation to build upon, and the dean will ensure the College continues on its impressive trajectory of academic and inclusive excellence. As the University evolves in the coming years through significant change, including projected enrollment growth and achieving Title V federal designation as a Hispanic-Serving Institution, the dean will play an important role in attracting and retaining talented students, faculty, and staff who reflect the demographics of California; securing the facilities, support structures, and other financial and operational resources necessary to support growth and CENG and Cal Poly’s aspirations; and maintaining the work with faculty and industry to continue to meet workforce needs and best support Cal Poly’s “Learn by Doing” approach. About The College Of Engineering

With an emphasis on applied learning and problem-solving, the College’s in-demand graduates are heavily recruited by some of the best-known companies in the world including Apple, Boeing, Cisco, Google, and Tesla Motors in addition to state and federal agencies. The College offers a robust and diverse array of highly-ranked engineering and computer science departments and programs, including Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science & Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, General Engineering, Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering, as well as additional graduate programs in Engineering Management, Fire Protection Engineering, and Regenerative Medicine. Undergraduate students can opt to pursue a blended program in several CENG disciplines, providing an accelerated route to a graduate degree. CENG recently unveiled the Noyce School of Applied Computing (Noyce School), a new interdisciplinary school combining three departments under one umbrella: Electrical Engineering, Computer Science & Software Engineering, and Computer Engineering, further developing the concept of applied computing and strengthening collaborations across the College. Student success is paramount to the College of Engineering, and the College aims to provide an excellent education that empowers all students to innovate, design, and create sustainable solutions to real-world challenges. As part of this mission, CENG is committed to universal student success and home to the Multicultural Engineering Program and Women’s Engineering Program, which help to recruit, support, and ensure the success of all students in engineering in addition to the College’s robust advising model.
