Keeping pace with today’s fast-moving technologies and economy
Driven by technology, today’s rapidly changing economy places a premium on people who can solve problems, make decisions and put theory into practice?
Those skills are the focus of the College of Engineering and Business.
These two academic disciplines are grouped together for a reason: collaboration between engineers and business leaders will drive the 21st-century economy.

So will tools, and you’ll find them here, including:
- One of the largest educational computer facilities in the tri-state area. Student labs are open and staffed sixteen hours a day, seven days a week.
- Research laboratories for Mechanical Engineering students that contain the latest CAD and FEA software packages.
- The attention of graduate schools such as Caltech, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Columbia University, and Rensselaer, all of which have recruited recent graduates.
- A committed faculty focused on helping you map your way to a managerial or technical career—or both.
- Gannon’s location in Erie’s Central Business District provides rich opportunities for internships at organizations in the public and private sectors
- Engineering students’ senior design projects are engineering in action through the creation of innovative experiments and projects involving measurement techniques, design, electronics, robotics, bioinformatics and computer forensics that enable students to employ currently problem-solving methodology.
