Engineering functions as a social endeavor, and our academic program is structured to incorporate ethics, engineering economics, technical communication, and collaboration, alongside substantial engagement with the humanities and social sciences. This enables students to understand and recognize engineering's societal influence.
Every undergraduate benefits from individualized guidance from staff advisors or faculty mentors during their studies. A majority of juniors and seniors engage in advanced research within faculty laboratories, at the College's interdisciplinary research hubs, or via internships with companies or organizations. Furthermore, students can utilize a variety of BCOE resources, such as academic support, workshops on study and time management, career counseling, professional skill development, involvement in professional associations, and social events.
To meet minimum requirements to be considered for UCR selection, you must earn a minimum GPA of 3.4 on a 4.0 scale (equivalent to an 85 percent on a 100 percent scale). The assessment of a qualifying GPA is based on “a–g” courses (required high school/secondary classes) completed in years 10 and 11. If the high school/secondary school offers a different curriculum, your academic achievement will be based on that educational system’s grading scale.
