Learn to use state-of-the-art equipment in our new engineering facilities, then apply what you've learned to projects with real corporate clients, and make connections that often lead to internship and job opportunities.
There are also plenty of opportunities outside of the curriculum for students to explore their passions. Our maker space and shops are open to all students. We also have a Robotics Club, a Racing Club, an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) student group, and an active student chapter of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE).
