Alumni Network

Our graduates continue to lead the way in the most critical engineering fields and have found success at prestigious companies.

Living-Learning Community

Our Living-Learning Community (LLC) offers the opportunity for first-year students to live and engage in a community of like-minded peers. Bolstered by mentorship from faculty and staff, this community provides a strong foundation for students to develop — both academically and personally — into professionals, leaders, citizens and lifelong learners.

This unique living environment brings engineering and computer science to life outside the classroom and assists in the transition from high school student to successful college student.

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.
