"We stand at the forefront, equipping the next generation of electrical and computer engineers with the technical and industry-aligned skills needed to pioneer cutting-edge technologies, drive meaningful change, and address the critical demand for workforce expansion at the scale required to effectively respond to today’s challenges."

In the recent rankings, Georgia Tech’s College of Engineering has risen to No. 3 among undergraduate programs; it’s highest ranking since 1996. The College is now tied for the number one spot among public programs in the United States.
