Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture

The Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture offers degree programs through its School of Design and Construction, the Gene and Linda Voiland School of Chemical Engineering and Bioengineering, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (Tri-Cities), the School of Engineering and Computer Science (Vancouver), and the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering.  In addition, as listed below, the college offers ENGR courses relevant to several degree programs. A minor is available to all non-engineering majors at the university. The minor provides an understanding of the ways in which engineering can be applied to solve real-world problems.

Supplementing the curriculum, the Voiland College Professional Practice and Experiential Learning Office (ProPEL) guides students in what it means to be a professional, to act professionally and to develop real-world skills.   Professional practice and experiential learning partnerships in industry help Voiland students apply knowledge acquired in the classroom to real-world situations, develop critical thinking skills, clarify the attitudes about careers in their field, and improve professional soft skills. The Voiland College Internships and Career Services Office, home to the ProPEL program, provides guidance on search strategies for internships, cooperative education, industry mentoring, apprenticeships, practicums, and research experiences, both domestic and international.
