Message from the Dean
I am pleased to introduce you to the University of Kentucky College of Engineering.
Thanks to the accomplishments of a dedicated faculty and outstanding students, the UK College of Engineering has earned a place among the nation's best. In addition, the university has created an environment for excellence with a $100 million investment in infrastructure over the past 10 years.
Approximately two-thirds of our faculty have been hired since 1990, creating an exciting combination of innovation and energy to go with a long-established commitment to teaching, research and service. The work performed by faculty and staff through our dynamic research centers impacts life in the Commonwealth and beyond. The College of Engineering has a critical role in Kentucky's New Economy initiatives, and in UK's goal of becoming a top 20 research university.
Our students must meet rigorous admission standards to gain entry into our upper division undergraduate and graduate programs. Our alumni, in addition to being successful engineers, are leaders in their organizations and their communities. Many have achieved great success as entrepreneurs, creating new companies and jobs in Kentucky and throughout the nation. Nationally, more than 900 UK engineering alumni serve as presidents, CEOs, vice presidents or partners in their corporations.
The opening of the Ralph G. Anderson Building in 2002 completed the university's new engineering complex. As a result, the college's classroom and laboratory facilities are competitive with any in the nation. Alumni are pleased to find that the Engineering Quadrangle, one of UK's most familiar landmarks, is still part of the campus, framed now by new facilities educating engineers for the 21st century.
Whether you are considering our college for education, research or service, we have the personnel, resources, and most of all, the desire to meet your needs.
I sincerely appreciate your interest in the UK College of Engineering.
