The College of Engineering at Wichita State has almost 100 years of experience turning students into big dreamers and qualified job seekers. This nationally recognized program is committed to its students, community partners and the development of the local economy. That’s why it is ranked #1 in Kansas and in the top 50 nationally for engineering research R&D expenditures in addition to offering the largest co-op and internship program in the state. Moreover, the College of Engineering graduate program is ranked #1 in the state and in the top 100 in the country.
This is all accomplished while maintaining the College of Engineering’s urban-serving mission. More than a third of engineering students are first-generation and about 50% are students of color.
