Be an engineer in year one The first-year introductory course to engineering immerses you in the college and its majors, builds community among students and faculty, and engages you in hands-on engineering design and innovation.

Contribute to cutting-edge research endeavors Under the mentorship of a faculty member, you will have unique opportunities to participate in advanced research and cuttingedge technologies to develop new knowledge. This will enrich your educational experience and open doors to permanent employment and graduate studies upon graduation.

Dr. Fiondella’s commitment to students has been exemplary and inspirational while coauthoring a paper to present my undergraduate research at a Homeland Security conference during my junior year� Christian Ellis ’19 Computer Science


Obtain industry experience Our faculty and career professionals will advise you on obtaining an internship in industry or government lab. This hands-on professional experience will increase your career potential while you earn academic credit and financial support for your education. Our students have interned at sites such as: • Titleist/Footjoy

• Hewlett-Packard

Johnson & Johnson Naval Undersea Warfare Center Bose Corporation Hewlett-Packard Dell EMC

Become an entrepreneur Our faculty foster a creative and innovative environment to prepare you for engineering design and product development. The Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship offers workshops and competitions to students interested in translating their novel designs into commercial products.

Study abroad An international experience is essential for students who will be creating technologies to tackle global challenges. The College of Engineering is expanding study abroad opportunities for our students by partnering more closely with our study abroad program providers and integrating these opportunities into the curriculum.


UMass Dartmouth alumnus Scott Tingle (Mechanical Engineering, 1987), a Captain for the U.S. Navy, ventured to the International Space Station in 2017.

Engage in engineering design with community impact Engineering and computer science education culminates in a yearlong capstone project where you will work in teams with a mentor on real-world, industry-specific challenges with our partners in industry and government.
