The Ingram School of Engineering has state-of-the-art multimedia-equipped classrooms, laboratories, and equipment designed to foster engineering education and research and promote active learning through lectures and hands-on experience. Graduates will be ready to make immediate contributions in professional careers or pursue doctoral studies leading to academic and research-related careers.<br><br>Students develop multidisciplinary engineering skills with academic depth and industry-driven application focus, necessary for a highly rewarding career in engineering.<br><br>The engineering program provides a practical, industry-driven focus via a long-term, targeted technical project or research thesis related to real-world engineering applications. The project or thesis will be conducted in partnership with local industries and may involve off-campus collaborations.<br><br>The program has two options: a traditional thesis option focused on an academic research topic and a directed research option focused on a practical, industry-driven project. Both options require a minimum of 31 hours with engineering and general core courses, multidisciplinary electives, a seminar and at least six hours of thesis or project. Students choose from four separate concentration areas: civil, electrical, industrial or mechanical and manufacturing.
