Mission
The mission of the College of Engineering at The University of Alabama in Huntsville is to provide students with a quality educational experience that includes engineering theory, design, experimentation and application. The College is dedicated to achieving national and international recognition for excellence in engineering education, research and service. (Approved by the College of Engineering Faculty on April 24, 2002 and by the College of Engineering Industrial Advisory Board on November 2, 2002).
The College of Engineering offers the Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree with options in: aerospace engineering - an option in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, industrial and systems engineering, mechanical engineering, and optical engineering. The undergraduate engineering programs are built around a core consisting of courses in mathematics, the physical sciences, humanities, and engineering. Students then take additional engineering courses in the areas of their specializations. The net result is that at UAH, engineering students first develop breadth in important fundamental areas and then depth in their particular field of specialization. This provides an added dimension to UAH engineering graduates that enhances their professional performance. The UAH engineering student is also able to obtain "real world" engineering experience through the Cooperative Education Program or by part-time employment with the many governmental and industrial facilities in Huntsville.
When desirable, as evidenced from continuous studies, the College of Engineering may modify its curricula and specific courses of instruction, alter requirements for admission or for graduation, and change degrees to be awarded.
Background
Engineering is the profession that translates scientific thought into reality. By combining synthesis, analysis, and design in creative and innovative modes, the engineer produces systems, processes, and products for the benefit of mankind. Those who desire to be part of this important effort can gain entry into the engineering profession by attending UAH. The UAH College of Engineering is located in an urban area and also in the state's high technology area. Close proximity to the Marshall Space Flight Center, 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 a high quality faculty, affords maximum growth potential for those desiring to pursue a career in engineering. The College of Engineering is strongly committed to the advising of both undergraduate and graduate engineering students.
Engineering Student Affairs
The College of Engineering provides freshman, sophomore, and transfer students with academic counseling through the Engineering Student Affairs (ESA) Office located in EB 157. The ESA is the engineering student source for all advising and registration guidance until achieving the junior (upper level) academic status in engineering curriculum hours earned. At this point, the student (and the respective ESA student record) is transferred to the appropriate engineering program for advising, monitoring, and mentoring purposes. The ESA Office maintains a web page of advising information for all UAH engineering students. This page may be accessed through the College of Engineering web page.Departments and Programs
