Today's advanced engineering tools and multidisciplinary projects make engineering research more vital than ever. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering, our talented faculty excel in many areas, including emerging interdisciplinary fields such as biomedical engineering, energy research, nanotechnology and atomic-level engineering. The college's consortia and partnerships with more than 200 industrial and governent partners help support and share its research and technology. Our students — tomorrow's leaders — learn in a world-class environment so that they can not only live in that changing world, but they create and shape those changes as well. On campus, students can exercise their creativity and entrepreneurship in both coursework and through extracurricular opportunities such as design competitions and hands-on experience creating new technology-based businesses.
