Welcome to the College of Engineering community. With nine departments and more than 1,300 graduate and PhD students, we consistently rank among the top engineering programs in the country. The college is home to 44 research centers covering a wide range of topics. College faculty and staff report more than a hundred invention disclosures each year, and many faculty have received prestigious National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator, Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers or Faculty Early Career Development Awards. Almost 20 professors have been named to the National Academy of Engineering.
Admission for graduate students are handled directly by graduate-level degree programs within the college. Visit our academic departments and the other resources provided on this page to learn more about taking your engineering degree to the next level.
