Engineering, science, and mathematics being the highest from all those choices. When the founder first created the college he wanted to attract the brightest students, which was sucessful over the years.
The college has a seal with a meaningful meaning. "The sun represents energy, the elliptical Mobius strip denotes structure, and the dividers, measurement. The globe depicts the humanities and civilization.” The dividers are placed in the design to bridge the gap between the sun and the globe to symbolize the measure of energy and things scientific as well as the measure of humans and civilization. The outer as well as the inner ellipse can be read as orbital paths, suggesting humankind’s concern with space".(found in website link below)
