All engineering students join the College as part of our Engineering First Year Program. Our objectives in the Engineering First Year Program are to welcome students to the College, get them connected to important resources, help them learn about engineering as a profession and help them explore all of their academic options prior to joining a department. Here is what you can expect during your first year.
