    Accreditation

    All engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET.

    All majors, with the exception of digital arts and sciences, computer science and nuclear and radiological sciences, are accredited by the EAC.

    For additional information about a specific major, contact the undergraduate coordinator in the department or visit the dean’s office in Weil Hall.

    Particle Engineering Research Center (PERC)

    Information about the center’s research, education and technology transfer programs is available at 352-846-1194 or erc@erc.ufl.edu.

    Engineering Undergraduate Student Affairs

    Engineering student services are provided through Engineering Undergraduate Student Affairs located in 312 and 204 Weil Hall. Undergraduate Student Affairs is responsible on a college-wide basis for coordinating academic advising and developing and implementing other student support programs and services, including career/lifestyle coaching, success workshops, study halls, tutoring and mentoring, retention efforts and new student programs.

    The division informs students of educational opportunities such as scholarships, tuition waivers, co-op and internship opportunities and available campus resources. The division also serves as liaison between the College of Engineering and university-wide student services and facilities.

    Multicultural and Diversity Programs

    These programs provide focused support to under-represented groups in the engineering profession. Students receive the personal, academic, social and cultural support they need to achieve academic success.

    Services include orientation to UF and the college, academic and career advice, leadership development, engineering success skill development, coaching, financial assistance and tutoring.

    First Year College Transition Programs

    The college offers transition programs for incoming freshmen and community or state college transfer students to help them adjust to college life at the university.

    EFTP and STEP-UP are multi-faceted bridge programs designed to promote academic and personal success among entering engineering students throughout their first year (Summer B, Fall and Spring). These programs combine faculty and peer mentoring with team-building, industry involvement and academic enhancement classes in engineering foundation courses. An engineering design component provides the opportunity to apply foundational concepts in problem-solving, team-building and interpersonal communications. STEP-UP focuses to serve primarily underrepresented populations while EFTP focuses to serve all entering engineering students.

    The Transfer Student Transition Program (TSTP) highlights college expectations and eases the transition from community or state college to university life. Incoming students are matched with peer mentors and provided with networking resources and support.

    Pre-Collegiate K-12 Programs

    The College of Engineering supports the university’s land-grant mission through a wide range of programs that support student preparation in grades K-12. These include the Gator Engineering Outreach Program, SECME, Engineering GatorTrax and information programs for students and guidance counselors.

    Information about these programs is available in Engineering Student Affairs, 204 and 312 Weil Hall.
