Flip on a light switch. Recline your seat for a transcontinental
flight. Turn on the tap and fill a cup of water. Move your
mouse cursor across the computer screen. Shuffle the tracks
on your iPod. Every day, everywhere we go, in everything we
do, we are immersed in technologies that would have seemed
miraculous for the great majority of human history, devices
and inventions that have transformed our material relationship
with the world. And the future promises only more life-changing
innovation.
At Parks College, you will learn to take the principles and paradigms
established through millennia of scientific progress and apply
them to the challenges of the 21st century. A Parks education
grounds theory in application, arming you with the knowledge
both theoretical and practical to spearhead the technology
revolution in the coming decades.
But a Parks education does not stop with technical know-how.
In keeping with Saint Louis University’s traditional
Catholic, Jesuit mission, Parks prepares students to become
leaders in the society at large, responsible citizens who
put their expertise to best use within a larger philosophical
and ethical context. With our advanced technologies so deeply
embedded into the social fabric, engineers and scientists
must understand and account for the far-reaching ramifications
of their work – a responsibility and a perspective that
Parks integrates into the training of its students from the
moment they enter their first college classroom to the moment
they step down from the Wings Ceremony stage, diplomas in
hand.
