What’s New?

  • All engineering classes include an element of design, in which students actually use the concepts they have been developing.
  • A suite of free electives allows students to pursue a variety of interests.
  • Engineering in the Community service-learning course enables students to engage in an engineering project that benefits the community.

The Program

  • A balanced curriculum provides the theoretical framework needed for graduate studies and the practical skills needed in industry.
  • Opportunities abound for rewarding community service projects, internships with local engineering firms, and summer research or upper-level student research abound.
  • All classes are taught by faculty (unlike larger universities, where graduate assistants teach many undergraduate courses).
  • A low student faculty ratio in the department means classes are small and students never run the risk of getting lost in the crowd.
  • Professors are primarily devoted to teaching undergraduates.
  • Innovative teaching is based on discovery, small group activities, cooperative learning, and design projects.
  • Students have access to the latest technologies. Almost all labs use computer-assisted data collection and analysis.
