College of Engineering

UNT’s College of Engineering students are preparing to solve many of today’s problems through hands-on learning in cutting edge facilities and labs. Students work with some of the most modern equipment in the nation.

Center for Advanced Research and Technology

The CART facility is one of the most sophisticated of its kind for research involving materials synthesis and analysis, from atomic to macro scales.

Center for Network Neuroscience

With the formation of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, the College of Engineering is now home to the Center for Network Neuroscience. The addition of CNNS brings more opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to work on exciting design projects and research in the mechanisms and strategies underlying the phenomena of pattern generation, recognition and storage in neuronal ensembles.

Computational Epidemiology Research Laboratory

CERL’s primary focus is the application of computational concepts to problems related to public health. Work at the laboratory will provide tools to epidemiologists and scientists that can be used in the prediction and analysis of how disease manifests and spreads.

Vision, Robotics and Control Systems Laboratory

This lab in the Department of Electrical Engineering supports research in the areas of pattern recognition, image processing, computer vision, computational intelligence and robotics. The laboratory contains simulation tools for computer vision and pattern recognition applications and control systems design.

"If you’re interested in doing undergraduate research, just walk around the building and look at the project posters on the walls. If you see something you want to be part of, just call or show up in the professor’s office. They are so friendly and open."
