Students have worked with industry leaders, including Northrop Grumman, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Intel, among others.

Plans are also in the works for a that will dramatically expand learning opportunities for students.

The School of Engineering and Computer Science offers eight majors, including bioengineering, civil engineering, computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, engineering management, engineering physics and mechanical engineering.
