Why Choose the School of Engineering?
If you want to be part of a diverse, dynamic community that shares a passion for visionary thinking and creative problem-solving, if you want instruction from prominent faculty in a state-of-the-art learning environment, and if you want to apply your knowledge to make the world a better place, then the School of Engineering is for you.
Program Spotlight: Electrical and Computer Engineering
Electrical engineers are in the forefront of technology that continually transforms our rapidly changing world. From developing advanced navigation systems and self-piloted vehicles to designing “smart” homes and cyber security systems, electrical and computer engineers have a profound impact on how we live and how society will continue to progress for generations to come.
With 38 faculty, 840 undergraduates, and more than 240 graduate students, the Electrical and Computer Engineering department provides students access to up-to-the-minute coursework, world-class labs, internships, and research opportunities in fields ranging from cloud computing, robotics, and digital signal processing to virtual reality and nanotechnology.
Making it Real: A Dedicated Student Space
The Bruce and Phyllis Engineering Students Project Studio is a dedicated space for students to conceptualize and build scale-size projects. Students have opportunities for hands-on learning, interdisciplinary collaboration, project and equipment management, and preparation for intercollegiate competitions – including Rutgers Formula Racing, Rutgers Solar Car Team, as well as other student organizations with design and build objectives.
Program Spotlight: Aerospace Engineering
Rutgers is the only public university in New Jersey to offer an aerospace engineering degree. Our program includes courses in spacecraft mission design, propulsion, mechanical control systems, system dynamics and controls, orbital mechanics, power plants, and more. Proactive learning opportunities utilize classroom studying in applications and design, leading to a final aerospace design project in the senior year.
Student Perspective
Aabir Rashid describes Civil Engineering as a best of both worlds major. “I could learn about scientific and technical concepts that challenge my problem-solving skills, while combining my interest in policy and community-oriented development.” After working as a research assistant at Rutgers’ Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT) laboratory, he gained hands-on experience as a traffic engineering intern at Dewberry Engineers and as an on-site field engineering intern at Turner Construction.
