Alvernia's engineering programs are characterized by their design-forward curriculum, ensuring that students are not just passive recipients of theoretical knowledge but active participants in the creation and innovation process. From the outset, engineering majors engage in team-based real-world design projects, mentored by industry partners or research faculty. This hands-on approach begins in the first two years, fostering a deep understanding of engineering principles through practical application.
 

Real-World Experience and Internships

Students are encouraged to participate in semester or summer-long internships or research experiences by their third year. These opportunities provide invaluable exposure to the engineering field, allowing students to apply their classroom learning in real-world settings and gain professional experience. The culmination of this practical learning journey is a year-long capstone project in the fourth year, where students work in interdisciplinary teams on a project sponsored by a local business. This structure enriches students' learning experience and prepares them for the collaborative nature of the engineering profession.
