TOURS AND VISITS
TOURS AND VISITS
For future students, there’s nothing like walking up the big staircase in the Scott Building, asking questions during a one-on-one tour with an engineering ambassador, or talking with current students about their engineering project.
Take advantage of these engineering-specific visit opportunities:
ENGINEERING TOURS
We offer undergraduate student-guided tours of engineering facilities from academic buildings to our Engineering Residential Learning Community.
ENGINEERING EXPLORATION DAY
Saturday, October 6, 2018
A visit day offered for free twice each year, the College invites high school students, their parents, and community members to explore engineering majors and careers.
ENGINEERING DAYS
Although this is not a traditional visit day, the E-Days design showcase features outstanding opportunities across disciplines to interact with undergraduate students and their projects.

Undergraduate Programs
Undergraduate Programs
Our departments have a vast array of respected programs and coursework to satisfy any engineering student interests. From strong majors to interdisciplinary minors, the College offers prospective students the education and research experience needed to start their careers on the right path.
The School of Biomedical Engineering (SBME) provides transdisciplinary education, research, and practical experiences throughout all our programs. The unique structure of the School involves four colleges, 14 departments, and over 70 faculty. Academic excellence across diverse fields converges into three primary areas of research: (1) regenerative and rehabilitative medicine, (2) imaging and diagnostics, and (3) medical devices and therapeutics.

- Biomedical Engineering Combined with Mechanical Engineering
The mission of the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering is to educate future leaders in chemical and biological engineering who effectively combine their broad knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology with their engineering analysis and design skills for the creative solution of problems in chemical and biological technology and for the synthesis of innovative processes and products.
Major, Chemical and Biological Engineering
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering is recognized both nationally and internationally for education, research, and service and outreach.
Our research not only serves to solve real-world problems of current state, national, and international significance, but also serves to push the envelope of the discipline so that future generations can reap the benefits of our efforts towards enhancing society’s ability to sustain and develop the infrastructure necessary for our continued existence and quality of life.

Minor, Environmental Engineering
A leader in innovation for more than a century, the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is redefining what it means to both teach and learn. Rather than teaching courses in isolation, faculty work in teams to hook students’ interest earlier by showing them how concepts connect across the curriculum and how that knowledge relates to the real world.
Major, Electrical Engineering
Lasers and Optical Engineering Concentration
Major, Computer Engineering
The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers a curriculum that combines classroom learning with engineering practice. The goal for students is to give our graduates the engineering skills to obtain leading positions in advanced technology fields.
Students not only learn about mechanical engineering analysis and design, they also gain valuable hands-on experience through class projects and application-oriented research.
MAJOR, MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Engineering Science is an interdisciplinary major that allows students to acquire a strong base in mathematics, the physical sciences, and engineering fundamentals while pursuing a broad background in other areas of interest in preparation for specialized careers or graduate studies.
