At the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, we are more than educators. We are a community of problem solvers, inspiring each other to build true world solutions that will lead to healthy, sustainable societies.

Our approach is personal, fostering a culture of collaboration that’s as driven by student-to-student connections as by our world-class faculty and advanced research opportunities. You may enter UVM a little unsure, eager, and excited for the next chapter. By the time you’re ready to leave, you’ll be poised to change the world.

Sharing the joy of discovery

Faculty researchers open doors to undergrad students in their nationally sponsored labs. You can also pursue independent research with a faculty mentor and apply for university grants to support your work.
CEMS faculty are not only educators but also active researchers

More than Educators

Knowing their role is to help shape tomorrow's problem-solvers and leaders, our faculty deeply commits to their relationships with students, offering in-class support and real-world direction, bolstered by a mutually supportive cohort of colleagues through the CEMS Teaching and Activity Hub (TEACH).

Cutting edge research

Proximity to the UVM Medical Center facilitates collaboration between students and faculty on cross-disciplinary projects, like developing biomaterials capable of healing punctured lungs and treating cancer, and advancing sensor technology to improve outcomes for joint replacement patients.
