The award recognizes higher education institutions in the Dallas-Fort Worth region that encourage and support students in choosing engineering and technology-related disciplines as a preferred path.
The recreational computing laboratory houses one of the top 50 best undergraduate game design programs in the country, according to The Princeton Review and GamePro magazine. The game design certification program allows you to study with students from the College of Visual Arts and Design to create 2-D and 3-D games, learn physics simulation and conduct research.
A Living-Learning Community brings together engineering students who live on campus to enhance academic and social experiences.
Located 4.5 miles north of the main campus and serviced by a free shuttle, Discovery Park houses the College of Engineering and the computer science and engineering department. This 300-acre research facility joins academic laboratories, offices and classrooms to maximize the potential for creativity, collaboration and technology innovation. Our students are preparing for engineering careers that solve societal problems, advance technology and improve the quality of life for people everywhere.
The specific course requirements vary depending on the program you're enrolled in. The courses are generally divided into:
A 2.75 GPA is required for all advanced computer science and engineering courses.
The Career Center, Learning Center and professional academic advisors are among the many valuable resources available to you at UNT.
