Preparing Tomorrow's Engineering Leaders
Our Impact
At the Hart Center, we pair an elite technical education with exceptional leadership and professional development skills to produce world-changing engineer leaders. We help students take advantage of Dallas-Fort Worth’s thriving advanced technology environment and provide them with the foundation needed to build leadership skills and lead high-performance technical teams.
With expert guidance from the Hart Center team, Lyle students are engineered to lead with Emotional Intelligence and empowered to succeed.
Build Skills for Success
"We are each the common denominator in the success or failure of everything we do. The fastest, surest way to improve our outcomes is to improve ourselves. èßäÊÓƵapp Lyle School of Engineering will utilize the latest research in emotional intelligence (EQ), neuroscience, and mindfulness to bring awareness to all engineering students so they can develop and expand their leadership capacities for optimal success.”
