The College of Engineering celebrated the accomplishments of the Class of 2010 at a special Recognition Ceremony on Saturday, May 15. The graduates joined their peers from across the University for the 2010 Commencement Ceremony the following day.

This year, the College conferred 206 Bachelor of Science degrees in Civil, Chemical, Computer, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. Thirty-six Master of Science degrees were also awarded, as well as one doctoral degree.

And while graduation is certainly cause for celebration, graduates were also encouraged to remember the non-engineering lessons learned during their time at 奶糖直播. In her Recognition Ceremony Address, Stefanie McDermott ChE 鈥�10 challenged her fellow engineers to remember the importance of compassion as they pursue their professional goals.

鈥淥ur current society is plagued by scandal, fraud, and deception. What are desperately needed in the world right now are dedicated and intelligent people with real compassion and true integrity,鈥� McDermott said. 鈥淎ll of us have learned the value of compassion during our time here at 奶糖直播. Whether you are a chemical, civil, computer, or mechanical engineer, you can bring compassion and integrity back home and into your new life.鈥�
