Recruiting our Students

The College of Engineering is a national leader in educating engineers for the 21st century, developing the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and corporate and civic leaders. Our graduates are ready to make an immediate impact with your company, in large part because they’ve already gained hands-on, real world experience through our curriculum. Most of our grads are sought after by multiple companies.

Approximately 425 graduates earn bachelors of science degrees across ten disciplines of engineering. There are several ways to gain access to these students, through recruiting events, by directly contacting specific student organizations, or by contacting the appropriate undergraduate student advisor.

Approximately 400 graduate students earn masters & doctoral degrees each year. Recruiting these top students is best accomplished by contacting faculty members in the desired engineering specialty or by contacting the graduate student advisor in each dept.
