Students choose Engineering at Illinois for a variety of reasons. Many of our students say they enjoy the opportunities and resources a Big Ten university provides, and they also appreciate the comfort and benefits of being part of the smaller engineering community within campus.
A Rewarding Challenge
Engineering students study and work hard but they have fun as well. One piece of advice students almost always identify as a key to success is this: good time management skills. Start developing these skills now and you will be ready for a transformational experience at Illinois.
Eventually, "success" will mean "getting a job". Illinois' engineering graduates are competitive in the job market. Typically more than 400 companies recruit on campus each year. Engineering Career Services statistics indicate engineering students who participate in these interviews receive more than two job offers each.
Although Engineering at Illinois is a challenging program of study, it is also rewarding. The thousands of successful—and even famous—graduates who have gone before you are proof.
