A Transformative Engineering Educational Experience

Welcome to the 2024 issue of the St. Thomas Engineer Magazine! 

"It has been another year marked by incredible accomplishments and commitment to the engineering experience at St. Thomas. While our greatest assets are incredible students, faculty and staff who enliven our programs, we can not underestimate the added energy of the state-of-the-art facilities in which we now thrive.

In January, we celebrated the opening of the $110 million Schoenecker Center supporting engineering, arts and the sciences. The building has increased classroom, lab and collaboration space in the School of Engineering by nearly 70%, while advancing innovative programming at the intersection of all STEAM disciplines."
