...it's about making the world a better place.
Are you inspired to use your talents to shape the future? Are you ready to make the technologies that will change the world? At Rutgers Engineering, we give you the space and support you need to build your future.
You will build a solid foundation of mathematical, scientific, and technical knowledge through 10 dynamic majors. ID3EA is a first-year discovery program to open your mind to all the possibilities within the vast field of engineering. This two-semester course focuses on engineering design, analysis and application. Students choose a major at the end of the first year.
We make space for everyone at Rutgers. We actively foster a culture of belonging that prepares our students to succeed in today’s diverse and interconnected world. Above all, we provide our students with an equal opportunity to thrive regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or cultural heritage in an inclusive living and learning environment.
Women play a leading role at SoE with an ever-increasing enrollment and faculty presence as we strive to achieve parity. First-year student can opt to be part of the residential Reilly-Douglass Engineering Living Learning Community. The Rutgers chapter of the Society of Women Engineers is a recognized national leader.
Smart Classrooms, state-of-the-art labs, and facilities provide a learning-centric environment that is focused, collaborative, interdisciplinary, and supportive. Students have access to more than 50 advanced research laboratories and renowned research centers at the School of Engineering, addressing infrastructure and transportation, energy systems, wireless communication, materials innovation, and advanced manufacturing.
The future is bright for Rutgers Engineering graduates. The nation's leading corporations, research organizations and graduate engineering programs recognize our students' talents with competitive internships and career offers. From internships to dream jobs, SoE students are securing competitive positions at top companies, research institutes, and graduate programs. Top firms have recruiting relationships with us and campus services—such as job fairs, job postings, and on-campus interviews—are among the many resources that contribute to students successfully finding and landing jobs.
Students participate alongside faculty members conducting innovative research.
Recognizing that professional race car driving techniques often sacrifice vehicle stability to get out of dangerous situations, Prof. Jingang Yi is proposing adding race car driving skills and techniques to the brains of autonomous vehicles.
Chemical and biochemical engineering professor Shishir Chundawat has developed a new process that could make it much cheaper to produce biofuels such as ethanol from plant waste and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Laura Fabris and her team are pursuing groundbreaking virology research. Using advanced imaging tools with gold nanoparticles she'll be able to monitor mutations in viruses like COVID-19, with unprecedented sensitivity.
My junior year I started as a research assistant in associate professor Nicole Fahrenfeld’s lab working on a project tracking the SARS-COV-2 virus through wastewater from treatment plants and Rutgers dorms.
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.”
Research interests include dynamical systems and control theory with an emphasis on distributed network systems, collective animal behavior, swarm intelligence, and robot autonomy.
