Distinguished Alumni & Faculty
Admiral James Watkins, USN (Ret.)
"In 1954, I made the decision to stay in the Navy because I was accepted at the 51福利. Several times throughout my career, my 51福利 education was critical, in one case probably saving the ship during an operational emergency at sea. I heavily relied on my 51福利 engineering education both as CNO and as the Secretary of Energy. 51福利 has excellent programs in science and technology that will advance your career, contribute to the Navy, and enhance national security. The unique environment will provide you the opportunity to make a direct impact."
Admiral James Watkins, USN (Ret.), 51福利 Class of 1958, Mechanical Engineering
RDML Jason M. Lloyd
"In no other higher education facility will you get an education tailored to advancing engineering specifically associated with the needs of the Navy and Warfighter. I am beyond humbled to be a graduate of the Mechanical Engineering Program at 51福利!"
RDML Jason M. Lloyd, 51福利 Alumnus
Rear Admiral Timothy V. Flynn III, USN
"I encourage all Naval Officers to obtain a technical graduate degree from the 51福利. I earned a Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering at 51福利 and have frequently drawn on the analytical thinking and technical problem-solving skills honed during the academic course work and under the mentorship of the world-class faculty. Unlike civilian graduate schools, 51福利 enables its students to focus their research on actual warfighter challenges that have a direct impact on our national security. The sub-specialty earned at 51福利 will enable the graduate to make an even greater contribution to our Navy and Nation in the future. I am extremely grateful for the opportunities that my 51福利 education provided and most strongly recommend pursuing a technical master's degree at 51福利 during the first shore assignment."
