Exploring Engineering

STEM Roadmap to Your First Year: A simple guide for course selection for incoming undergraduate prospective engineers and scientists

ENGR 1- Want to be an Engineer?, Thursdays 1:30-2:50pm This course is for incoming students who may want to major in STEM. A panel of faculty from STEM majors in the School of Engineering, the School of Humanities & Sciences, and Stanford Earth present with the goal of helping you discover if their field is right for you.

Undergraduate Engineering Resources

Additional Courses for Engineers: ACE provides undergraduate students with individual tutoring, exam review sessions and other resources.

Technical Communication Program: The TCP offers individual consulting and coaching in addition to a range of courses to help Stanford students become more effective and confident writers and presenters.

Graduation: How to Prepare: read it before you need it!

Summer Opportunities

Stanford students can check out ways to spend summer doing research with faculty (Research Experience for Undergraduates), go abroad via Bing Overseas Study programs, or check Stanford CareerEd for summer internships and jobs.

Student Group Funding

Does your student group need funding for an activity that benefits the School of Engineering community or furthers the goals of your engineering association? The SoE accepts applications to assist engineering student groups with limited funding. Apply for Student Group Funding

Overseas Opportunities

Roughly half of all engineering undergraduate students take advantage of at least one overseas program opportunity while completing their bachelor’s degrees. Finding time for such an experience will take some advance planning, but it is well worth the effort. These opportunities will certainly be a highlight of your time at Stanford.
