Establishing local area networks at the schools and linking the networks to CUA allows schools to access the Internet and sophisticated software that is too expensive for an individual high school, he says. CUA's engineering program was founded in 1896, becoming a school in 1930. The School of Engineering offers programs in biomedical , civil , electrical , and mechanical engineering and confers a full range of undergraduate and graduate degrees. Special programs include a dual degree program in architecture and civil engineering, a computer science in engineering program, and an undergraduate concentration in construction engineering. The engineering school conducts Engineering 2000, an annual summer program that draws more than 150 students from high schools across the country.
Faculty offer a speakers' bureau, and engineering nights are held for local high schools.
