    Knuckles

    Mascot

    We feel that his positive attitude and handsome good looks make Knuckles the perfect poster child for all of engineering's values. In addition to mascot duties, Knuckles serves as engineering guardian. Nobody enters engineering without Knuckles' approval. Note: bribes have proven to be effective. Knuckles accepts treats and walks.
