Shaping world-changing engineers

At SMU Lyle School of Engineering, students are encouraged across all fields of study to “Think Big, Do Good.” At Lyle, that mission directive calls us to fulfill our role as builders, creators, researchers, and innovators of the highest caliber. Our enterprising spirit forges new pathways and encourages our students to boldly solve problems on a global scale, from developing distribution plans that ensure access to clean water to inventing pH sensors that predict when food has spoiled in real time.
