The College of Engineering offers eight undergraduate programs built around a core consisting of courses in mathematics, the physical sciences, liberal arts, and engineering. Student may pursue one of the following engineering degree programs that leads to a Bachelor of Science degree:

• Aerospace Engineering (BSAE)
• Chemical Engineering (BSCheE)
• Civil Engineering (BSCE)
• Computer Engineering (BSCpE)
• Electrical Engineering (BSEE)
• Industrial and Systems Engineering (BSISE)
• Mechanical Engineering (BSME)
• Optical Engineering (BSOE)

UAH has been an independent and autonomous campus since 1968 with the first engineering degrees awarded in Electrical Engineering. The College of Engineering was established as an independent college in 1981 and is now the largest of the five academic colleges at UAH. Over 8,000 undergraduate and graduate degrees have been awarded in the College of Engineering?s history. Close proximity to the Marshall Space Flight Center, the U.S. Army Research, Development & Engineering Command and Redstone Arsenal, and much of Alabama's fastest growing technological industry gives the College of Engineering a special character that leads to outstanding educational opportunities for its students. This special setting, combined with high quality research-active faculty, affords maximum growth potential for students interested in pursuing a career in engineering.

The goals of the College of Engineering are to:

• Enhance the national and international recognition of the research activities of the College to advance towards the top 50 engineering colleges/schools.
• Be recognized nationally for graduating highly sought after professionals with excellent engineering skills, integrity, and a strong work ethic
• Improve the quality, diversity, and number of students at all levels with an emphasis on increasing full time student enrollment
• Create an engaging educational environment fostering a highly diverse group focusing on nurturing innovation and leadership through core engineering and multidisciplinary research and education

Working with students, our faculty conduct both fundamental and applied research in disciplinary and cross disciplinary fields, developing solutions to many grand challenges. The College of Engineering is strongly committed to the advising of both undergraduate and graduate engineering students.
