Engineers use their knowledge and skills to create solutions to society’s problems and to make a difference in people’s lives.

Engineers work in collaborative environments, drawing on their teams’ creative abilities to design or improve products, processes, and systems, making them more efficient and cost-effective.

At the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources, we strive to give you a strong background in math, science, and communications that will enable you to become a successful engineer.

Not only will a degree in engineering prepare you to enter industry, it’s also great preparation for graduate school in medicine, law, business, or other professions.

“Undergraduate research and

internships have been, without

question, the most beneficial parts of

my undergraduate education. At the

National Energy Technology Laboratory

in Morgantown, I worked with other

engineers to model and develop a

control system for fuel cell integrated

gas turbines that, in the future, could

become the most efficient form of

turbine energy generation available.

Being responsible for projects and

working alongside professional

engineers helped me discover how

liberating and exhilarating work can

be when you do what you love

and put forth the effort to make

something great.”
