On-Campus
Engineering Center Tour
See the spaces where our students bend, twist, measure, pressurize, weld, and synthesize their learning. A current student will take you through the classrooms, hands-on labs, and makerspaces of our 100,000-square-foot Acopian Engineering Center. You'll also see our fleet of 3D printers, robotics labs, and the Maroon Monster, a hydraulic crusher used to test concrete. Along the way, you'll hear how our students take advantage of 24-hour access to the building but find the time to perform on stages and athletic fields, lead clubs, and engage in community projects. The tour lasts approximately 1 hour.
On-Campus
Exploring Engineering Information Session
Join the dean of the Division of Engineering on campus as she shares how studying engineering in a liberal arts setting allows you to make connections across disciplines so you are prepared to launch into the workforce or pursue graduate studies. You'll learn about the course of study for engineers plus how students maximize study abroad and research opportunities in our four-year programs. We'll dive into how our first-year experience will help students envision pathways and possibilities for their futures.
