Diversity and affordability
We’re dedicated to making engineering accessible to a diverse group of students. That’s why all applicants are considered for engineering scholarships that range from $3,000 to 100% of tuition and fees.
These awards support promising engineering students who are underrepresented in the field and/or are interested in certain disciplines.
Research opportunities
Programmers, designers and developers may spend their days immersed in line after line of code, but when it comes to the Software Engineering field, research is key.
Researchers and theorists are making new breakthroughs every day, and staying on top of the latest can help you no matter what you plan to do with your degree.
That’s why we give you the chance to get involved in research and solve real engineering problems in the Grand Challenges Initiative. With guidance from your professors and help from your classmates, who knows what you might discover?
You can get to know our faculty and their research interests on our Research Opportunities page. Feel free to reach out to them anytime if you see something that interests you or have any questions.
ASA DataFest Hackathon
As a Software Engineering student, you will have the opportunity to participate in multiple hackathons every year, including ASA DataFest
ASA DataFest is a data hackathon sponsored by the American Statistical Association where you and your classmates will put your skills to the test and work around the clock to find and share meaning in a large, rich and complex data set.
