Be an ENGINEER ... and SOMETHING MORE. Engineering students are smart, hard-working people who work in teams to solve problems. At Iowa, they're also incredibly interesting people who are Big Ten athletes, Hawkeye Marching Band members, leaders of student organizations, entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, researchers, hospital volunteers, student senators, dance marathoners, intramural competitors, international travelers, fraternity and sorority members, and more.
Direct Admission. Students meeting the engineering admission requirements are admitted directly into the College of Engineering. Students can choose the engineering major they're interested in and can switch majors easily if interests change. There is no "weed-out" philosophy in Engineering@Iowa ... we focus on providing our academically stellar students with resources and support to meet the academic challenges of engineering.
Community. The engineering community at the University of Iowa is incredible, close-knit, collaborative.
