Under their guidance, and alongside dedicated peers from other engineering backgrounds, you’ll do more than solve complex problems. You’ll develop new ideas and find new ways to approach the world's challenges.

We emphasize innovation, safety and sustainability in each of our programs. Moreover, you'll have many opportunities to put these values into practice. Special partnership programs, exciting internships with top manufacturers and service learning trips around the globe are just a few ways you'll bridge the gap from engineer-in-training to engineer-in-practice. 

The tools are all here. It’s time to put them to use.

Student Spotlight: Computing & Engineering

Hephzibah Rajan headshot

Quinnipiac student named 2023 National Engineering Intern Student of the Year

Quinnipiac student Hephzibah Rajan ’23, a computer science major from Muscat, Oman, has been named the 2023 National Engineering Intern Student of the Year by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE).

The award is presented by the Cooperative and Experiential Education Division of the ASEE. Rajan was recognized for her summer internship with CVS/Aetna.

“I interned with Aetna over the summer after my junior year,” Rajan said. “Initially, I worked on code maintenance which in simple terms is reading code and making sure that each line was being run. I was essentially increasing code coverage. Over time, I started picking up other tasks as well. I learned about their machine-learning models and was also able to propose an alternative method for one of their projects with the help of my mentor."

Why Quinnipiac School of Engineering video

Why Quinnipiac?

Students share five reasons why they chose Quinnipiac’s School of Computing & Engineering.

Quinnipiac’s engineering students made a strong debut at the 2025 Student Steel Bridge Competition, designing and constructing a 19-foot bridge capable of supporting over 2,500 pounds. Their entry stood out for its speed of assembly, lightweight design and stability. The team earned first place in aesthetics among 17 universities, recognized for the bridge’s balance, proportion and finish, as well as a detailed poster presentation. This achievement reflects months of collaborative effort, applying classroom knowledge to a real-world project and setting a high standard for future teams.
