Admission
Unleashing student potential
The challenge of an engineering education is to prepare students for success after graduation. Our undergraduate and graduate programs go beyond providing the fundamentals of engineering education. We provide courses and areas of study that are relevant to employers, so when you graduate you will be distinguished as a leader in your field. Just ask the governmental agencies and the companies who hire our engineering graduates.
Leading the way
With more than a century of experience in searching for answers to complex and challenging problems, the College of Engineering has taken a leadership role in addressing critical science and technology issues. We invite you to come work on our current endeavors targeting aerospace, sustainable energy sources, environmental preservation and protection, water quality and quantity, food safety and border security.
Collaborating in research
As engineering students you will work with faculty who are engaged in research at the frontiers of the engineering sciences. Collaborate with your faculty mentors on many kinds of research projects that affect our community, the nation and the world. More than 80 percent of the university’s regular faculty members hold doctoral degrees and a faculty-to-student ratio of 1 to 19 ensures that you will have ample opportunity to work closely with them.
Inventing the future
Students have developed space-bound nanosatellites, carried out zero-gravity experiments aboard NASA aircraft, competed in nationwide concrete canoe and Mini Baja contests, conducted research on removing arsenic from drinking water and investigated ways of making hydrogen fuel cells in automobiles more feasible. These are only some of the ways your engineering studies will help build bridges to the future.
