    Tomorrow’s Needs: Michigan Tech Reaches an Inflection Point

    This is the first in a series of opinion pieces from leaders around campus on the role that Michigan Tech innovators will play to define the world’s emerging needs. Since 1885, Michigan Technological University has done precisely what our founding charter called on us to do: educate and train a highly skilled workforce prepared to serve the state’s industry needs. In the late 1800s, this meant training mining engineers to streamline and operate the prosperous copper mines of the Upper Peninsula. In the 20th century, Tech alums helped crystallize Michigan’s global reputation as the epicenter of quality automotive manufacturing. Today, through pioneering efforts like the state’s first College of Computing and our new Essential Education curriculum, the University continues to serve the state of Michigan by helping address the complex technological, economic and social issues of the 21st century.
