Temple University's College of Engineering is committed to its students with an emphasis on education that is hands-on and personal. Classes are small and taught by experienced and dedicated faculty. Fostering an environment for the creation of knowledge, the college encourages basic and cross-disciplinary applied research by its faculty and students. Great importance is attached to scholarship, practice and service aimed at improving the quality of life and the economic viability of our society. These objectives are pursued in a learning environment that celebrates ethnic and gender diversity, respects experience, and encourages problem solving through teamwork.
As part of a research institution, the College of Engineering offers cutting-edge programs that are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET). The college began as the Evening Technical School in 1936 to accommodate an expanded technical course offering. In 1969, the Board of Trustees approved the formation of the College of Engineering Technology, which was authorized to grant Bachelor of Science degrees in various engineering technology disciplines. In 1986, the college offered the Master of Science in Engineering, its first graduate program.
The mission of the College of Engineering is to provide students with a high-quality, innovative and globally competitive learning experience in engineering, engineering technology and the applied sciences. Engineering graduates are educated professionals with the technical, problem-solving and communication skills required to succeed in the workplace and society. The college has partnerships with some of the area’s leading engineering employers. Our graduates are hired by such companies as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Metrologic, NASA, PennDot, Pennoni Construction, PGW, Turner Construction, Verizon and many more.
