UVA Engineering offers all students opportunities to tackle real-world problems of global significance.
-
Aerospace engineers are involved in such varied and exciting activities as enabling hypersonic flight, sending a spacecraft to Mars, designing an artificial heart, and improving tomorrow’s automobiles.
-
Biomedical engineers create new methods to explore life and treat disease. Students choose to become biomedical engineers because it is complex, challenging, and rewarding in ways that few fields can equal.
-
Chemical engineers are involved in developing, processing, and marketing such varied products as fuels, pharmaceuticals, foods, plastics, metals, microelectronics, and basic chemicals. Chemical engineers have historically been highly employable, with one of the highest average salaries among engineering disciplines.
-
Our students and faculty make international contributions to a more sustainable future. In the process, we advance the limits of current technology, whether it’s cyber-physical systems for smart cities or nanotechnology for low-cost water purification.
-
Computer engineers work with hardware and software to create modern computing and embedded systems.
-
We offer quality programs that emphasizes basic science, technical mastery, research opportunities and a firm grasp of scientific principles as well as strong communication skills and creative problem solving.
-
We present electrical and computer engineering as an integrated tool-kit that students can use to design hardware for AI and chips for edge computing, develop next-generation photovoltaic cells, improve medical imaging, and increase the security and performance of wireless communications.
-
MSE offers students a fundamental background in the structure, properties, processing, and performance of materials.
-
Mechanical engineering is one of the largest, broadest, and oldest engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineers use the principles of energy, materials, and mechanics to design, analyze, optimize, and manufacture machines and devices of all types.
-
Our program is designed for students interested in bringing people and technologies together to improve the productivity and effectiveness of organizations and address complex, multidimensional problems in society and industry.
