rigorous study in the field. Students who complete the program earn two degrees — one from PLU and the other from an ABET-accredited engineering school. The total length of study is typically five years — three at PLU and two at a partner engineering school.

Senior cadets, for example, are largely responsible for training their younger peers. “They’re getting ready to graduate from school and become commissioned officers,” Boling said. “So they take over the training of the younger cadets. They lead labs, which are basically training here on campus, and then we also do what’s called field training exercises, where we go out to JBLM (Joint Base Lewis-McChord). The senior-level

Justice, assistant director of the data science program, believes PLU is uniquely equipped to respond to the nation’s growing demand for data scientists. “PLU’s mission and curriculum invites students to grapple with complicated issues of inequalities in our society. This means Lutes are remarkably well-suited for becoming the kind of data scientists that the world really needs—data scientists who remain diligently mindful of potential impacts on those who

Faculty Innovators Four examples of how PLU professors across campus help drive the university forward — inside and outside of the classroom.

The class culminated in a final “Critical Making” project, where students built, designed, or mocked up a media literacy tool. The goal of the assignment was to envision a web that prioritized the circulation of credible information. Critical making is a process where students apply theories and concepts to a creative project or artifact, and where imaginative design – focusing more on engagement with theory and concepts, rather
