School of Computing and Engineering Quick Facts

Charting the right engineering course

The field of engineering is nuanced and made up of many specialties and subfields. Choosing a specialty is easy for some students and a little more difficult for others. That’s why we offer a course to introduce students to the varied engineering careers: The World of an Engineer. This hands-on class gives you the opportunity to explore elements of each program we offer — mechanical, civil, industrial and software — to get a full sense of which one is right for you.

Our mechanical, civil, industrial and software engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, which means they meet the highest standards of engineering education in the country.

The BS in Computer Science program is accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission of ABET. Through exposure to existing and emerging technologies, interdisciplinary projects and innovative practices, we prepare our graduates to lead the way in innovation, emerging technologies, and in anticipating the welfare and safety needs of the public.

Technology and Facilities

Our students master the same industry-leading technology and equipment utilized in the field by practicing engineers of all backgrounds. Our interactive classrooms, labs and workshops include:

• An Environmental Workshop with atomic absorption spectrometer, where students can analyze metals at very low concentrations
• A Fluids Lab with Advanced Hydrology Study System, which allows students to experiment with rainfall and runoff simulations
• A Performance Optimization Workshop, where students can use the driving simulator to analyze a variety of driving situations and conditions or program an automatic assembly process on our fully automatic production line
• A Machine Shop, where students engage in guided fabrication activities that build manufacturing knowledge and skills
• Collaborative classrooms, where students engage in team-based and active learning in software engineering and computer science classes
