When 1+1 is >2

Iowa-trained engineers work in nearly 900 Iowa manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, utility, construction, educational, and health care companies and dozens of state government agencies. In the last five years alone, nearly 200 Iowa firms and organizations have hired graduates of the state's engineering colleges. And the Iowa and Iowa State schools consistently rank among the best engineering programs in the country.

But the educational mission of Iowa's engineering colleges reaches far beyond the two campuses to affect citizens and businesses across the state. In a world where quick-change technologies challenge even the most seasoned engineer and new ideas burst into successful new businesses, engineering education is a lifelong process. Through programs in continuing education and long-distance learning, Iowa's Engineering Colleges are dedicated to helping the state's professionals and businesses continue to grow. The colleges are meeting the explosive interest in off-campus education by:

• Designing and delivering cutting-edge courses
• Developing better software for the delivery of courses to Iowa companies and communities
• Offering access to education across the state through the uniquely advanced fiber optic system, the Iowa Communication Network, and the National Technological University.
• Offering a Bachelor's of Science degree in Engineering program in Cedar Rapids, IA
• Offering an integrated 26-month dual degree graduate program for practicing engineers through The University of Iowa Henry B. Tippie School of Management and the Iowa State University College of Engineering
