School of Engineering Quick Facts

Faculty

Quinnipiac’s School of Engineering professors are committed to the personal and professional success of every student. While they are passionate scholars, accomplished in their own fields, their number one priority is teaching. Small class sizes, professors who are approachable and a close-knit community create the kind of supportive, enriching environment that is rare. Our faculty members are personally invested in seeking ways to help students develop into strong, certified, leading professionals.

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

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.
