College of Engineering and Sciences

Dietmar Rempfer, Ph.D., Director, School of Engineering

The College of Engineering and Sciences is led by outstanding faculty that are recognized for their expertise. Our students receive rigorous training in the sciences that enables them to advance their careers anywhere in the world, and our programs graduate some of the most successful engineers, scientists, healthcare professionals, and educators in the Midwest. More than twenty undergraduate and graduate programs divided among a school and six departments prepare you to pursue excellent jobs in the highly sought after STEM fields in the high-tech, data-based 21st century.

As an undergraduate or graduate student, you will apply your classroom knowledge to a broad range of basic and applied research and projects, including statistical and computer data analysis, biological and chemical processes, smart technologies, ecology and environmental hazards, designing and building automobiles, bridges, and more.

At the School of Engineering we educate future engineers for the 21st century. Our graduates go out to change the world, directly through the products, services and systems they envision, optimize, and implement, and indirectly through the impact that their products have on ourselves and our environment. As a student in one of the engineering disciplines or in computer science you will have the chance to work with multi-disciplinary teams of scientists, computer scientists, and engineers from industry and the university and contribute to research and projects on a regional and national scale.
Students in the Department of Biological Sciences enjoy numerous opportunities to work with the faculty on individualized research projects and present findings at regional and national meetings, giving them a competitive advantage after graduation.
The majority of our Chemistry and Physics students go to graduate school or are employed in their field upon earning their degree.
Our new Heath Studies degree program prepares students for advanced professional study or a variety of careers in health and wellness after graduation.
Students in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics enjoy many opportunities to participate in professionally oriented co-curricular activities such as internships, undergraduate research projects with faculty, as well as state-wide and national competitions in the mathematical sciences.
If you intend to become a doctor, dentist, veterinarian, or pharmacist, we offer a variety of pathways to prepare you for success, including concentrations and pathways for all degree options that lead to your professional school of choice.

Our graduates are actively and consistently recruited by numerous regional and national companies. Recent graduates have accepted positions at places, such as: Agdia, ArcelorMittal, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Electric, General Motors, NiSource (NIPSCO), Urschel Labs, and more. Other graduates have recently gone on to graduate or professional school at: Marian University, Midwestern University, Notre Dame, Ohio State University, Purdue University, or stayed right here with us in one of the many graduate programs at Purdue Northwest. These are just a few examples of the opportunities that wait for graduates from the College of Engineering and Sciences.
