Why the Badger engineering experience matters in an AI education era

While AI is a tool that can help us learn or work more efficiently, Dean Devesh Ranjan says the true value of our Badger engineering education lies in face-to-face experiences that shape who our students become: the teams that launch companies, the cohorts that lead industries, the communities that tackle society’s greatest challenges.

Community, opportunity, support

Undergraduate research

Undergrad research is great way to tap directly into our professors’ expertise. Best of all, we don’t just allow our undergrads to participate in research—we encourage it.

Student orgs

Connect, compete, network, learn, lead, volunteer, grow and more. Joining student orgs (but maybe not all 50 of them) gives you even more power to personalize your college experience.

Wellness

We offer a well-rounded, collaborative approach to your well-being so that you can thrive. That means people and services to help you keep your academic, physical, emotional and mental health on track.

Career services

As an engineer, you get the best of both worlds: It’s a really fun major. It’s also a career that’s in super-high demand. In other words, your job outlook both during and after college is pretty rosy.
