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-based, which means theoretical engineering principles are reinforced and experienced through hands-on creation and problem-solving.
You class sizes will be small — both for your major and your general ed and electives.
Industry leaders and professionals routinely provide feedback on the skills, projects, equipment, and software needed to ensure you are ready to engage in complex engineering projects from day one. You’ll also gain real-world experience through field trips, industry speakers, internship opportunities, and a senior project.
