The University of Washington College of Engineering (UW Engineering) is the engineering school of the university. In autumn 2018, the college had an enrollment of 8,125 students.[2]
Founded in 1901.
Faculty of UW Engineering have included 27 members of the National Academy of Engineering, 32 Sloan Foundation Research Award recipients, and two MacArthur Foundation Fellows.[3]
In autumn 2017, the college began a "Direct to College" admission process by which prospective freshman can apply directly to the college to be assured a place in an engineering major. Accepted students must still meet minimum progress requirements to enter a major. The process was created in response to the growing competition at the college, where fewer than half of undergraduates who apply to major in engineering are accepted.[4]
