As a member of Engineering and Computing to Change the World, you will take courses alongside your community peers to promote a community of academic achievement! By learning alongside one another, you will have a built-in support network to ensure you always have someone in your corner along your journey. Whether you're interested in a future career in software or computer engineering, robotics or mechanical development, or sustainable engineering and construction, this community is meant for you.
Outside the classroom, you will have the opportunity to explore various academic, career, and social engineering-focused activities alongside experienced engineering faculty, which may include demonstrations and behind-the-scenes tours of engineering industrial partners, working with robotics kits, and touring local start-ups to see what opportunities are available in the field. One program throughout the years, is the "Engineering Egg Drop" where students work together to create egg-protection devices then drop them several stories to see who has the best design! All of these opportunities are in place to help make yourself a competitive candidate in the future.
Learn more about the opportunities available through the College of Engineering, the School of Computing, and UNL Robotics.
