Perhaps more than any other field, engineering is creating the future – and tomorrow depends on highly talented, enterprising people – like those who make up our community of innovators. Not only does the College of Engineering turn out new discoveries and forge groundbreaking inventions that strengthen our community, it is also a national leader in educating top-flight engineers.

Ten departments, one mission: launching careers
Graduating top-quality engineers is our highest priority. We are committed to giving students the crucial skills and practical experience they need to succeed in an ever changing world.

Crossing Boundaries
Today’s engineers still build bridges. But they also work on problems from the microscopic (genetic engineering) to the global (systems for maintaining a sustainable planet). As engineers take on large-scale problems that have cross-cultural implications, they need to understand political, economic, and social aspects of the world in which they work. We are forging interdisciplinary partnerships across campus and around the globe to prepare students to succeed.

“Engineering must be at the core of a university in the twenty-first century. Interdisciplinary work is not just our hallmark, it is key to our success.”
-- Matthew O’Donnell, Frank and Julie Jungers Dean of Engineering

The Power of Invention
The College of Engineering is an engine at the core of the Northwest economy. From our direct involvement in groundbreaking research, spin-off companies and technology transfers to producing world-class graduates that fuel the region’s insatiable need for qualified engineers, the impact of the College is felt in every industry throughout Washington state.
