Built for Creation

Here, you will build a solid mathematical, scientific, and technical knowledge foundation through our ten dynamic majors with access to state-of-the-art research labs and facilities for hands-on learning.

ID3EA is our first-year discovery program designed to open our students' minds to all the possibilities within the vast engineering field before declaring a major.

Students have access to more than 50 advanced research laboratories addressing infrastructure and transportation, healthcare, energy systems, wireless communication, aeronautics, materials innovation, advanced manufacturing, and much more.

Inclusive at the Core

We actively foster a culture of belonging, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or cultural heritage, so our students thrive in an inclusive living and learning environment and are prepared to succeed in today’s diverse and interconnected world.   

Women’s enrollment and faculty presence is ever-increasing as we strive to achieve parity. In addition, we provide a range of offerings, including the first-year residential Reilly-Douglass Engineering Living Learning Community and the nationally recognized Rutgers chapter of the Society of Women Engineers, to level the playing field for women in engineering.

Get to Know Us

A Northrop Grumman internship and research opportunities throughout his SoE experience have convinced electrical and computer engineering major Mukund Ramakrishnan to pursue a doctoral degree and career as a researcher.

Student shares her experiences as an intern at Merck and the support she received from colleagues.

Dr. Joseph Freeman is developing new implantable scaffolds for the regeneration of musculoskeletal tissues, using molecular modeling to investigate collagen structure and function, and developing tumor engineering models.

“When a student first comes in, they’re asking you questions. By the time they leave, if you did your job right, you’re asking them questions.”

Sarah complemented her classroom experiences and developed her knowledge of extreme environment engineering with summer internships at Northrop Grumman and Boeing.
