College of Engineering Insights

Michael, Hokie Ambassador and Civil Engineering major.


Virginia Tech is a university that consists of seven colleges for transfer and freshman students. New students can choose from 70 programs of study within these seven colleges.

The College of Engineering is one of the seven colleges that offers majors for freshman and transfer students at VT.

One of the great things about Virginia Tech's College of Engineering is its philosophy: "Hands-on, Minds-on." This philosophy is demonstrated in the classroom and the Ware Lab, which is a building where students can work on their various ground-breaking design projects. From autonomous robotics to energy-saving devices, hundreds of engineering students frequent the Ware Lab for hands-on learning.

The university at a glance

Founded in 1872, Virginia Tech is rich in tradition, beauty, and history. Even with more than 30,000 full-time students, Virginia Tech has a 16:1 student to faculty ratio. Our main campus consists of more than 125 buildings, 2,600 acres, and an airport. Virginia Tech is ranked 42nd in university research in the United States.

As far as transfer students go, last year 2,788 students applied to Virginia Tech, 1,359 were offered admission and 925 accepted our offer of admission.

Because we are a university, learning is obviously important to us. To back that up, we have amazing educational facilities, top-notch technology, research opportunities for students, and award-winning faculty. While these are all key pieces of your college experience, we truly believe that learning is not just reserved for inside the classroom. We have more than 600 student clubs and organizations. Oh, and our motto, Ut Prosim (That I may serve), allows one the occasional privilege to do some community service (not like when you toilet papered the gym in high school and had to give up your weekend to undo your artwork – this is the good, fun kind of community service).

Now if you are into sports, you should check out recreation and intramural sports. Also, you really need to experience a football game at Lane Stadium. Once you do, the Metallica song, Enter Sandman, will never ever hold the same meaning for you again. Speaking of football, Virginia Tech plays Nebraska on Saturday. So, Let's Go... HOKIES!
