Welcome to the web site of the School of Engineering at The College of New Jersey.  We are glad that you are visiting us electronically.  If you have not visited our facility, we hope that you will have the opportunity to do so in the near future.

As a student in the school of engineering, you will have frequent opportunities to interact with the faculty, both inside and outside of class.  Classes are small and all are taught by full-time faculty.  No classes are taught by graduate assistants.  Our faculty consists of educators with national and international reputation.  You will find professors here that take the time to hear your concerns, help with a problem, talk to you about a summer job, or share in your good news.  While the primary responsibility of our faculty is teaching, they are also active researchers, authors, consultants, and regular contributors in their academic discipline.  Student satisfaction for the program is very high.  Ninety-six (96%) percent of the 1999 and ninety-one (91%) percent of the 2002 engineering graduates indicated that they would recommend a TCNJ engineering education to a friend or relative.  Of course, all Bachelor of Science programs in engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The Technology Education program offered by the Department of Technological Studies is accredited by NCATE and meets all ITEA accreditation standards.

Placement of our graduates at commencement is very high.  Employers of our graduates include General Electric, Lockheed Martin, ITT, IBM, Mobil, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Lucent Technologies, Raytheon, Merck, Ortho McNeil Pharmaceutical, etc.  Some of our graduates choose to attend graduate school. The list of universities to which our graduates have been admitted for graduate study includes Stanford University, University of Michigan, University of Pennsylvania, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Drexel University, Penn State University, Lehigh University, as well as, the University of Washington.

The student population in engineering is very diverse.  Approximately 21% are women (one of the highest in the nation) and 12% are African-American, Hispanic, or Native American.  Although a co-op program is not required, many of our students obtain summer internships or part-time engineering-related jobs.

The engineering programs as well as the technology education program offered by the School of Engineering are known for the small faculty to student ratio  (1:16).  The School is housed in Armstrong Hall, a modern engineering facility with outstanding laboratory and computer facilities.  The facility includes specialized laboratories for Automated Manufacturing, Instrumentation, RF/Microwave, Digital Signal Processing, Thermal-Fluids, Materials Science, and Solid Mechanics and Mechanisms, surveying, soil mechanics, biomechanics, etc.

Our web site provides additional information describing the faculty, facility, and the various programs that are currently supported.  Please feel free to contact any faculty member or me directly for additional information.  If you would like to visit, please e-mail us at engineering@tcnj.edu or call the school secretary at (609) 771-2529 for an appointment.  We look forward to hearing from you.
