You will work one-on-one with top-notch professors who've earned advanced degrees from universities including MIT, Yale, Princeton, Notre Dame, Stanford, Virginia Tech and The University of Texas. Eighty-five percent of Trine's engineering faculty have doctorates and one-third are registered professional engineers. There are no teaching assistants, and our average class size is 19.8 students, ensuring you'll interact with faculty and peers in a stimulating learning environment.

Engineering and computing at Trine means performing actual work. Students develop and apply new technologies such as micro-scale cooling of computer chips; semi-conducting materials for thin film transistors; metallic recovery from scrap; hydrogen production from industrial waste; and instruments for use in orthopedic surgery. Student groups participate in regional and national competitions, building anything from fire-fighting robots to off-road utility vehicles and concrete canoes. Degree programs are designed to meet critical needs, including areas such as cybersecurity, health informatics and web development.

Trine engineering and computing graduates enter the workforce well prepared. Why? The practical skills and experiences they've gained through their senior design projects, the hands-on nature of our laboratories, and internships and co-ops have earned Trine graduates the reputation of being work-ready. Trine graduates are highly sought by industry and earn starting salaries above the national average.
