The hallmark of our Engineering programs is the design sequence. You’ll take a three-credit course devoted entirely to design in your sophomore and junior years, and a six-credit course sequence in your senior year, working in design groups of four to eight students.
These teams of engineers and scientists make actual physical design products, instead of doing only paper studies. The groups are multidisciplinary and use industry practices to mirror how professional engineering projects reach completion.
The design groups and the design projects change from term to term. For example, engineering design projects have included creating robotic underwater vehicles, autonomous watercraft, floating real-time ocean current monitors, and a solar tracker that works without motors.
With hands-on learning built into your education from your second year on, you'll be ready for what's next, whether that's graduate school or your launch into the workforce.
