About the Division of Engineering

The Division of Engineering consists of a cogent interdisciplinary team of students and faculty oriented in the general areas of Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. Undergraduate students earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering with options in Civil, Electrical, Environmental and Mechanical Engineering. At the graduate level, both the Master of Science and Ph.D. degrees are offered in Engineering Systems. The curriculum builds on a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals and continues with a pertinent set of focused electives and design experiences, educating students to apply their skills in multiple areas.

Specific faculty areas of research interests include structural dynamics, geotechnical and structural engineering, sensing, communications and controls, energy systems and power electronics, material mechanics and thermal-fluid systems, and bioengineering. Many research centers also reside within the Engineering Division and School providing opportunities for students and faculty to interact while they formulate and realize society's most significant interdisciplinary advances.

A new undergraduate minor program in Humanitarian Engineering has helped to direct us onto the path toward achieving global sustainability. Students and faculty work on projects to help meet basic human needs that affect the less advantaged in the United States and around the world. Explore the website and let us know what you think.
