Engineering
The Engineering Division emphasizes close interaction between students and faculty, and offers a wide range of opportunities to conduct research, complete hands-on design projects and study abroad.
New degree program
- Beginning fall 2019, a bachelor of science in engineering (BSE) degree program will be offered, providing students with increased opportunities in emerging engineering fields that cross the boundaries of the traditional engineering degrees offered at Lafayette. Students will choose a thematic focus in bioengineering, environment & energy, or robotics.
Rated as one of the Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs by U.S. News and World Report, engineering at Lafayette not only provides an outstanding technical education, but also prepares students with the ability to think creatively, imagine broadly, communicate effectively and influence change.
