Who We Are:
Kanbar College of Design, Engineering & Commerce offers an innovative and transdisciplinary approach to teaching and learning that gives students 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 & Engineering emphasizes the 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 successfully navigate professional challenges and reap the rewards of leadership and success in their careers.
The School of Business provides our students with cutting-edge skills and knowledge that allow them to succeed at every stage of their careers. 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.
