Innovative Undergraduate Programs
We offer innovative undergraduate programs in chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering. We believe strongly in personalized instruction and mentorship, and are proud to maintain a student to faculty ratio of 14 to 1.
You will enjoy small classes and close interaction with the faculty. Our faculty continues to forge and cultivate research partnerships with local, regional and national companies and government agencies.
One of the most innovative features of our undergraduate programs is the Senior Project which is a year long intensive effort in which seniors are required to work on real life problems in disciplinary and interdisciplinary teams.
Students have the option of participating in our Co-op Program that allows students to earn their nationally accredited baccalaureate degree and complete a one year long co-op experience all in four years.
Widener Undergraduate Engineering Programs are accredited by The Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone: (410) 347-7700.
