Favorite Quote: In his 1961 message to Congress on the state of education, President John F. Kennedy said, "The human mind is our fundamental resource." The young women and men we are educating at the UAB School of Engineering represent the intellectual capital that is needed to fuel the future growth and expansion of Alabama's economy. These young minds are, indeed, our fundamental resource.
