Dunwoody College School of Engineering

Engineers are in demand. Every industry—from construction and manufacturing to transportation and information technology—needs engineers to solve problems and drive innovation.

In Dunwoody’s School of Engineering, your education starts on day one. Coursework is project-integrated, which means theoretical engineering principles are reinforced and experienced through hands-on creation and problem-solving.

Your class sizes will be small — both for your major and your general ed and electives. You’ll also gain real-world experience through field trips, industry speakers, internship opportunities, and a senior project.

At Dunwoody, we want our engineering degrees to provide you with the skills you need to be relevant and ready for the workplace. That’s why industry leaders and professionals routinely provide feedback on the skills, projects, equipment, and software engineering students need to ensure they are ready to engage in complex engineering projects from day one.
