Engineering Education with an Eye to the Future
The Carnegie Institute of Technology (CIT), consistently ranked among the top 10 engineering school in the U.S., is the perfect place for young men and women who want to learn, discover and invent. It is the oldest and largest college at Carnegie Mellon with approximately 1,400 full-time undergraduates, 550 graduate students and 110 faculty members.
Students begin their engineering studies on their first day of class. Our introductory engineering courses give students hands-on opportunities to practice engineering. In your first semester, you will have the opportunity to experience CIT’s project and research based curriculum that includes problem-solving, life-long learning and real-world applications. In an introductory course, you can learn how to build a steam engine, how to build a bridge that will withstand the weight of your professor or how to engineer a “greener world.”
Our faculty consists of nationally and internationally recognized experts who guide students in the classroom and lab. The College of Engineering is research-intensive and our faculty members are known worldwide for developing leading edge technology and research advancements are brought directly to the classroom.
