Purdue Engineering Undergraduates

Purdue Engineering undergraduate programs consistently rank highly among their national peers. In the U.S. News & World Report survey “Best Engineering Schools 2027”, Purdue's College of Engineering ranked 8th nationally overall.

In the same rankings, eight specialties are in the top 10: Agricultural and Biological Engineering (#2), Industrial Engineering (#2), Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering (#3), Civil Engineering (#4), Mechanical Engineering (#4), Materials Engineering (#7), Computer Engineering (#9) and Electrical Engineering (#10).

In May 2022, Purdue launched the nation's first comprehensive Semiconductor Degrees program—a key element of the College of Engineering's plan to educate the next generation of workforce leaders in semiconductors and microelectronics.

The College of Engineering is made up of 13 schools and one department: aeronautics and astronautics, agricultural and biological, biomedical, chemical, civil and construction, computer science, electrical and computer, engineering education, industrial, materials, mechanical, nuclear, and sustainability and environmental.

Also, the college houses programs such as Purdue Engineering Online, EPICS (Engineering Projects in Community Service), the Engineering Student Success Program, the Women in Engineering Program, and Global Engineering Programs and Partnerships.
