Gadomski School of Engineering
At CBU’s Gadomski School of Engineering, we are dedicated to academic excellence. We offer ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science degrees in four engineering disciplines — Chemical, Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. We also have Bachelor of Science degrees in Construction Management, Engineering Management, and Engineering Technology that are designed for those who are interested in working in the management, packaging technology, or robotics manufacturing fields but who are not as interested in mathematics, science, and design. Along with our undergraduate degrees, we also offer graduate programs in Engineering Management and Computer Information Systems.
The Gadomski School of Engineering offers a 50+ year legacy of individualized engineering education. Our goal is to nurture the intellectual, professional, and personal development of our students as we prepare them to be effective, productive, and ethical engineers. A CBU engineering education is distinguished by personalized interaction between students and faculty, a strong laboratory component in the curricula, and an emphasis on real world experience through hand-on design projects and paid internships.
Why CBU Engineering
What makes our engineering program distinctive:
- Successful Graduates: The Gadomski School of Engineering has an excellent placement rate at companies and firms of all sizes. We even prepare students to start their own firms.
- Small Class Sizes: Small accredited engineering programs offering a full range of programs are rare. This gives CBU a unique position in today’s collegiate market.
- Dedicated Faculty: As a primarily undergraduate institution, the majority of our classes are taught by tenured or tenure-track faculty. The job of a faculty member is not only to teach in the classroom but to be active in research and development in their area of expertise. Faculty work directly with the undergraduate engineering students on their research projects leading to CBU undergraduate engineering students being co-authors on peer-reviewed publications, which is very uncommon at other universities. Additionally, all faculty hold a minimum of 8 office hours per week, ensuring amply opportunity for students to get the support, individualized attention, and mentoring they deserve in a challenging engineering curriculum.
- Active Student Organizations: Make a connection with other engineering students by joining one of our active student organizations. Students who get involved benefit from opportunities that inspire teamwork, leadership, and improved organizational skills and creativity.
- Accreditation: ABET accreditation is assurance that a college or university program meets the quality standards established by the engineering profession.
Programs and Perks
With the advantage of small classes and available professors, the Gadomski School of Engineering allows students to experience deep, hands-on learning that is fascinating and affordable.
- Undergraduate Design Experience: Collaborate with other undergraduates on special hands-on projects that simulate “real world” problem-solving circumstances and hands-on learning. CBU sponsors projects for the NASA Human Rover Challenge, SAE Mini Baja Competition, ASCE Steel Bridge & Concrete Canoe Competition, and IEEE Hardware Robotics & Website Design Competition.
- Flexible Graduate Courses: Our M.S. in Engineering Management and M.S. in Computer Information Systems provide the flexibility of taking courses online or on-site, whichever is more convenient. We offer six proficiency certificates in specific areas of engineering management, allowing the opportunity to advance a career without the commitment of a complete degree.
- Modern Laboratory Facilities: Our labs are operated with high-tech industrial equipment, providing students with practical, “real-world” industry experience. All of the equipment is for undergraduate use, and after appropriate training, available for individual and group projects.
- Financial Assistance: Over 91% of our full-time students receive financial assistance through various federal, private, and institutional funding programs.
