A whole floor is dedicated for student use only. It also features dedicated laboratories, a PC Lab with over 75 high-end computers, and classrooms all equipped for multimedia presentations and internet access.

Every engineering degree is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). This means your degree is recognized by professionals in the engineering industry.
