Kanbar College of Design, Engineering & Commerce

Who We Are:

Kanbar College offers an innovative and transdisciplinary approach to teaching and learning that provides students with the skills and knowledge to think creatively, brainstorm out-of-the-box ideas, and work collaboratively to discover innovative solutions to complex problems.

 The School of Design and Engineering emphasizes in-depth exploration of individual design and engineering disciplines, while encouraging interdisciplinary communication and collaboration. The curriculum stresses conceptual thinking, design excellence, intellectual curiosity and creative expression, combining a focused concentration on one particular field with a broad-based educational foundation that fosters critical thinking skills in a global context. This multi-tiered approach provides graduates with the knowledge and skills to navigate professional challenges successfully and to reap the rewards of leadership and success in their careers. 

The School of Business provides our students with the cutting-edge skills and knowledge that allows them to succeed at every stage of their career.  It’s not business as usual anymore, and our education should reflect this reality. Our students dive deeply into their major or concentration, while working with students from other disciplines, simulating what they will experience in the workplace.   

Why We Need Your Support: 

Your philanthropic support of the Kanbar College of Design, Engineering & Commerce gives students access to a suite of expertise that makes them uniquely qualified to address today’s real-world problems. This pioneering curriculum prepares graduates to adapt to changes in their professions, collaborate with colleagues in other fields, and excel in jobs that exist today as well as ones that will emerge tomorrow. Philanthropy also supports the knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in the 21st century workplace through real-world experience working on industry-sponsored projects.
