Majoring in Engineering

Engineering is the profession in which the physical, chemical and biological sciences are applied in a practical way for the benefit of society. As an engineering student, you will learn to observe and describe technological problems and to seek useful solutions to them. Your skills upon graduation will be useful to you not only as an engineer, but also as a professional in management, sales, operations, manufacturing, and other fields.

Information for Transfer Students

The College of Engineering maintains information on requirements for transfer students that can help you plan your transition to UC Davis.
