College of Engineering
The College of Engineering at Boston University is a community of students, faculty, and staff focused on advancing science and technology through research and discovery, and preparing students to be technology leaders in the 21st century. Undergraduate students participate in a comprehensive core curriculum that sets the foundation for their engineering studies while delivering a breadth of education across the humanities, mathematics, and social and natural sciences. They choose to major in one of six engineering disciplines-aerospace, mechanical, computer, electrical, manufacturing, or biomedical engineering-where they have the opportunity work side-by-side with research faculty in a number of modern, high-tech facilities. Graduate students partake in myriad programs and research opportunities leading to doctoral or master's degrees in aerospace, biomedical, computer, computer systems, electrical, manufacturing, mechanical, global manufacturing, photonics, systems or general engineering.
Features:
- World-class faculty and research facilities, with opportunities for undergraduates to work alongside faculty in high-tech research labs.
- Study abroad opportunities specifically designed for engineering undergraduates add a unique international perspective, with programs in Dresden, Germany, Guadalajara, Mexico, and Tel Aviv, Israel.
- Strong interdisciplinary research programs in advanced materials, biomedical engineering, information science and systems, micro- and nano-systems, photonics, and sensors and imaging.
- The advantages of a tight-knit engineering community where students get to know their professors and each other, combined with the opportunities offered by being part of a large, urban research university.
- US News and World Report ranks the College of Engineering among the top 50 graduate schools for engineering in America.
