UW Engineering and the World:
  • UW engineering seniors consistently perform above the national average on the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam. Approximately 80% of UW seniors pass this exam on the first try, compared to about 70% nationally.
  • Two UW dormitory floors with a computing laboratory house approximately 100 students and are designated for engineering students only.
  • Compared to the top twenty public engineering programs as reported by U.S. News and World Report, UW’s resident tuition is the third lowest.
  • Our students obtain an excellent background in engineering sciences, combined with significant hands-on laboratory and design experiences.
  • The small size of the College and excellent student/faculty ratio  (ranked fourth among the top public engineering schools in the country) allows excellent opportunity for undergraduate involvement in research.
  • The architectural engineering program at the UW is one of only 16 such accredited programs in the U.S.
  • At approximately 11,000 on-campus students, the University of Wyoming is small enough to offer a friendly atmosphere and the personal attention associated with a small college but large enough to offer all of the opportunities of larger institutions.
  • The College of Engineering & Applied Science $2,500,000 H.T. Person endowment is dedicated to excellence in undergraduate instruction.
  • At an elevation of 7200 ft., UW has the highest engineering college in the United States.
  • UW is surrounded by excellent outdoor recreation opportunities including hiking, skiing, fishing, climbing, biking, and kayaking.
  • The College has over 250 personal computers and workstations (one computer for every five students) accessible to undergraduate students.
  • Wireless access to the internet is available in all student areas in the Engineering building.
