"The school provided many opportunities to conduct research my freshman year.
Working with my professors and fellow students in our labs not only better prepared
me for my academic career, but for my long-term future as well."
The Environmental and Energy Engineering program emphasizes experiential learning
in science, combining theoretical classroom knowledge with hands-on, real-world applications
through activities such as laboratory work, field studies, internships, and research
projects. You can explore your interests through approximately 14 student organizations, which
are open to science and engineering majors. These options include joining the American
Chemical Society, the Biomedical Engineering Society, the Society of Women Engineers,
and the Multicultural STEM Group, among others, to connect with like-minded peers
and pursue your passions.Hear From An Alumna
