"The practice of controls engineering in the chemical and refining industries requires an in depth knowledge of both electrical and chemical engineering. Unfortunately, the two disciplines do not coalesce at the undergraduate level. Lehigh’s distance program has allowed me to supplement my undergraduate electrical engineering education with an advanced chemical engineering curriculum, enabling me to be a unique technical resource in the industry. Thanks to this program, I can attend a highly respected engineering school, and I still get to see my family every night."
