The American Society of Civil Engineers, the Structural Engineers Association of California, the Institute of Transportation Engineers, the Association for Computing Engineers, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, the National Society of Black Engineers, and the Society of Women Engineers have active chapters. The national honor societies Tau Beta Pi and Eta Kapa Nu are also available to qualified students. Engineering Programs, known collectively as MEP, are a comprehensive recruitment, retention, and graduation effort which assists underrepresented and disadvantaged students pursuing degrees in engineering and computer science. The program offers tutoring, advising, and counseling, and includes a study center and an MEP Theme House on campus. Please visit or call us.
Computer engineers are some of the most highly recruited graduates on the campus.
Recent surveys indicate that the demand for engineers with hardware and software design experience will continue to increase in both private and government sectors. This demand is predicted to continue as electronic equipment and embedded systems becomes more vital to business, industry, and the home. Mechanical engineers are employed throughout industry, in government laboratories, and in private practice. Opportunities exist in smart product design, energy conversion, transportation and manufacturing systems, to name a few. Mechatronic engineers are expected to be in high demand as the number of intelligent products on the market increases.
