In the College of Engineering, you’ll feel connected — to your classmates, your accessible professors, our alumni mentors and 500+ companies across 30+ states that engage with our college, many of which are involved with our century-old co-op program that provides you opportunities to engineer before you graduate.
Though some of our graduates go directly to graduate school or law school, most typically work as structural, environmental, construction, geotechnical, transportation and hydraulic engineers. Here’s where some of our recent graduates landed.
While you’re here at Marquette, preparing you for what’s next will be one of our top priorities. So, expect lots of learning by doing, connecting with others who share your passions, and reflecting on how you can Be The Difference.
Where better to learn engineering than a masterpiece of engineering? Designed entirely around the needs of the student, Engineering Hall is designated as one of the most innovative places on campus. Its five floors are each dedicated to solving complex problems and answering questions that we are faced with today and tomorrow. And with over 30 labs, you’ll have plenty of inviting spaces waiting for your exploration, creativity and innovation.
For more than 100 years, the College of Engineering has been offering co-ops and internships to offer you employment experience while you are still in school. We work with over 500 leading industry partners to provide you with a head start on your career though real-world work. Here are just a few of our partners:
As an undergrad, you can team up with a faculty member or research group to discover new information in areas of engineering that really fascinate you. Here are the areas our faculty and students are researching now:
Become a people-centered leader guided by our Jesuit tradition. Join our E-Lead program sophomore year and you’ll complete a combination of leadership courses and experiences that prepare you to be the drivers of innovation for the common good. You’ll develop the skill set to generate innovative solutions and the mindset to reflect on the impact your work has on the world. Bonus: You’ll graduate with a concentration in leadership, too.
Expand your engineering education with a semester abroad. Study program course work at prestigious universities from around the world. Other international opportunities are available for engineering students through core courses, summer study, language study, faculty-led programs or research.
A Marquette education equips students to thrive professionally and personally through overall student support, career preparation and an extended family that can't wait to meet you. But don't just take our word for it.
