Physics & Engineering Faculty
Physics & Engineering Department
The Doane Department of Physics and Engineering is committed to improving health and sustainability, increasing technological awareness, and advancing engineering and physics education and technology for the Crete community, the state of Nebraska, and the world. We look to provide solutions for both business and community needs, while ensuring students' education is enhanced by real-world problem solving. The future of STEM education relies on a collaborative effort between industry and academia to provide the next generation engineers with the skills, knowledge, professionalism, and networking ability necessary to thrive.
Engineering
Engineering focuses on using the tools of science and mathematics to solve real world problems. It is intrinsically interdisciplinary, involving knowledge from the natural sciences, computer science, and mathematics informed by an understanding of the social and cultural context a problem solution must be provided.
