USC School of Engineering

Home , Biochemical engineering, Omega Chi Epsilon, Polymer engineering

ourses in engineering were first offered in 1906 in the basement of one of the oldest

buildings on campus. Today, 140 full-time faculty serve about 1,700 undergraduates Cand 2,200 graduate students, utilizing state-of-the-art laboratories, classrooms, live interactive broadcast systems and the World Wide Web. The USC School of Engineering’s research program of over $80 million per year is funded through strong ties with government and industry.

The goals of the School of Engineering are: to provide undergraduate and graduate programs of instruction for qualified students leading to academic degrees in engineering; to extend the fron- tiers of engineering knowledge by encouraging and assisting faculty in the pursuit and publication of research; to stimulate and encourage in its students those qualities of scholarship, leadership, and character that mark the true academic and professional engineer; to serve the industrial com- munity of California and the nation in providing for the continuing education of engineering and scientific personnel; and to provide professional engineering leadership in the solution of commu-
