Today, engineering is experiencing a similar Renaissance. Advances in microelectronics, nanotechnology and biomedical engineering are reshaping our world.

Leonardo da Vinci would appreciate this new Renaissance and its holistic, multidisciplinary approach. He'd also understand the desire of UA's engineering faculty and students to build a better world.
