You'll learn by doing when you attend the COE. Multi-disciplinary teams have been challenged to design and build vehicles, streamline manufacturing processes, design devices to measure avalanche forces, and create a better swivel fish hook. Get inspired by projects showcased at a Design Fair and find out why James Loo said,
"I've had so many job interviews where I'm asked about my communication and leadership skills, about my ability to work with a team and make quick decisions. This project helped me with those things."

| We excel in research but focus on undergraduate education. MSU is in the top three percent of universities rated by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. MSU is classified as having “very high research activity”, along with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Stanford, and the University of California-Berkeley. Get details (in a new window). |
| You as a student are the top priority for the College of Engineering (COE) and its supporters. More than 50% of the COE's endowment fund is designated for Student Resources. Supporters recently donated more than $5.9 million to scholarship endowment funds. |
| Student achievement is so important to us that supporting it is the first element in our stated mission. You'll appreciate how dedicated our faculty members are to helping you achieve your goals. With a faculty-to-student ratio of 24 to 1, your professors will know you as a person, not a number. What's more, they make it FUN. See how a team of engineering students combined Mentos and Diet Coke, a bowling ball, a bicycle wheel, and a baseball bat among other things to silence a beeping alarm clock, win an innovation award AND earn class credit! |
| In Bozeman, you'll live among friendly people who pursue outdoor adventures year-round. You'll find fellow enthusiasts regardless of your interests—skiing, snowboarding, cycling, hiking, rock climbing, rodeos, fishing or hunting.

Get involved and you're bound to improve the community and have fun with like-minded people. You'll also gain practical career skills, such as budgeting, planning, and meeting goals. |
| We recruit and support members of groups underrepresented in engineering and computer science. Efforts such as Women in Engineering and the Designing Our Community program for Native Americans provide students with free tutoring services and connections to mentors and peers. These programs are sponsored by EMPower, the College's Engineering Minority Program. |
| A rewarding career and lots of options are within your reach as a grad of Montana State University's College of Engineering. Find out what recent graduates have done in their early career phases. |
You'll see results from applying engineering principles. Whether an undergraduate or graduate student, you will play a role in leading research. Students have participated in research efforts to reduce rejection of medical implants, protect wildlife habitat intersected by roads, study Earth with lasers and satellites, and harness the power of microbes in Yellowstone’s thermal features. Explore undergraduate research opportunities at the Center for Biofilm Engineering and the Western Transportation Institute.

| MSU is among the nation’s top 10 institutions for Goldwater Scholarship recipients. MSU students have earned 46 Goldwater awards; other top schools are Harvard, Princeton and Cal Tech. |
| You'll appreciate having a wide array of accredited undergraduate degree programs in engineering, engineering technology, and computer science. With nine ABET-accredited programs, MSU leads universities in the 5-state region of the Dakotas, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. Match your interests to one of COE's many departments and degrees. |
| You can confidently launch your engineering career. Since 2001, COE engineering graduates have passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam at a rate of more than 90%, far exceeding the average national pass rate of slightly less than 79%. MSU's COE is among a minority of programs that requires graduating seniors in engineering to take the exam. |
| You'll learn in state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories. We know that technology is important to you, which is why the COE was MSU's first college to make Wireless Internet available throughout its buildings. |
