Our motto is "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.
Sense of Community. The engineering community at the University of Iowa is incredible, close-knit, collaborative.
Resources designed to enhance success include all of the following:
- Enrollment in professor-taught engineering classes from the first-semester on, including a required Engineering Success course.
- Free tutoring provided within the College of Engineering for calculus, chemistry, physics, and core engineering classes.
- Opportunity to live on-campus in the People in Engineering (PIE) living/learning community.
- Access to and advising by engineering faculty and staff members.
- Workshops and seminars designed to enhance understanding of the field of engineering, professional opportunities, and strategies for success.
- Engineering Career Services which include engineering career fairs, resume-writing, interviewing skills, and connecting students with employers who are seeking top engineering talent.
- 24/7 access to the Seamans Center for the Engineering Arts & Sciences (SC), the 330,000 square-foot engineering building in the center of Iowa's campus, that becomes our students' "home away from home." In the SC, you'll find classrooms, faculty offices, study space, computer labs, research & teaching labs, student org events, an advising center, the Lichtenberger Engineering Library, the Hanson Center for Communication, a rooftop terrace, napping pods, and more.
