Engineering. Learn it Here. Apply it Anywhere. Change the World.


If you enjoy creative challenges, if you want to have a lasting impact on our world, if you want to use your knowledge to benefit society, if you have a passion for learning, if you want a financially rewarding career ... then you want to become an engineer.

Engineers are master innovators, integrators and problem solvers. We think big and what we do shapes the world in which we live. By our very nature, we bring knowledge to bear and deliver innovative solutions that are revolutionary. The contributions of engineering are readily apparent from the ancient pyramids to the exploration of outer space.

Training Global Engineers

Today's complex world requires innovation and the integration of engineering expertise on an international scale. The College of Engineering enjoys a highly regarded global reputation through its International Engineering Program (IEP). The unique five-year program leads students to two degrees: one in engineering and one in Chinese, French, German or Spanish. Students also spend a year abroad, taking courses at a local university and completiting a six-month paid internship for a global engineering company.
