Introduction
Ingram School of Engineering
The School has four undergraduate degree programs in specific areas of engineering. The Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering programs were bootstrapped through related existing programs in the Department of Engineering Technology. The Electrical Engineering program (and separately accredited Computer Engineering specialization) were developed "from scratch". The Civil Engineering program is the newest addition to the School's degree programs and is the first program in Texas with a holistic emphasis on technology-enhanced infrastructure (TEI).
The School provides a strong educational experience via theory combined with practice in a class/lab atmosphere. Dedicated faculty and staff are directly involved in classes and labs, and each degree program culminates with a Senior Design or "Capstone" Project which is required for graduation. Senior Design projects emphasize project management, technical deliverables, and multidisciplinary effort in team-oriented, long-term projects.
As a result of the heavy emphasis on practical, applied, and experiential learning, students who graduate from the Ingram School are well-prepared for careers in all aspects of engineering.
