Originally a part of Rutgers Scientific School, the program grew rapidly and now serves as the home of over 200 faculty members and 5,000 undergraduate and graduate students. While it has grown tremendously from its modest class of 7 students in 1864, the institution continues to provide its students with an education that prepares them for their careers as future engineers.
Rutgers School of Engineering is a place of possibilities—for students seeking successful futures, for researchers seeking to create new technologies, and for faculty members and industry leaders seeking to form powerful and productive partnerships.
Rutgers is the leading public university for undergraduate engineering in the the NJ/NY metro region and offers one of the top programs in the country. See facts and figures about our esteemed program.
