MSOE students are bright, creative, hard-working and fun to be around. Ours is a close-knit community of about 3,000 students, faculty and staff—large enough for big opportunities and small enough for personal attention. Located in a vibrant downtown neighborhood in Milwaukee, MSOE offers students an engaging learning and living environment. The university is fully committed to every student who is willing to be challenged and work hard to become a better person as a successful MSOE graduate

Since 1903, MSOE has been offering an applications-based education, partnering with leaders of business and industry to shape the institution’s development. Early supporters realized that their future depended upon educational institutions that could prepare men and women to fill newly created engineering and management positions.

Today, MSOE offers 17 bachelor’s degrees and 11 master’s degrees. The students who attend MSOE come from all parts of the United States and dozens of other countries. More than 20,000 alumni live and work throughout the United States and abroad, and nearly 2,000 of them own their own businesses or are officers of companies.

Professor William Gonwa has worked in the fields of wastewater collection, storm water management, and flood protection since 1984.  He received his doctorate from Marquette University, his masters from the University of Kentucky, and his bachelors from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, all in civil and environmental engineering.  Dr. Gonwa is on the faculty of the Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE).  He started as a part-time adjunct professor in the Masters of Science in Environmental Engineering Program in 2002.  In 2010, he accepted a full-time appointment in the Civil and Architectural Engineering and Construction Management Department.  As of the fall of 2019, Dr. Gonwa has been serving as the program director for the Civil Engineering degree.  Prior to 2010, Dr. Gonwa spent 25 years as in consulting engineering at CH2M Hill, Crispell-Snyder Consulting Engineers, Symbiont Science, Engineering, and Construction, including two years volunteering In Panama doing development projects.  He is a registered professional engineer in the State of Wisconsin.  Dr. Gonwa is fluent in Spanish having lived and worked in Mexico, Panama, and Peru for several years. Dr. Gonwa coordinates foreign learning experiences for department student. He enjoys riding bicycle for pleasure and commuting and plays clarinet in the Wauwatosa Community Band.
