Wisconsin Engineering Experience

The UW-Madison College of Engineering invites you to join us and explore the Wisconsin Engineering Experience. All students directly admitted to the College of Engineering for Fall 2025 are invited to attend and will receive invitations in their email to our events.

Wisconsin Engineering Experience Events

At these events, held on the same days as the UW-Madison Future Badger Day events, you’ll spend the afternoon on the engineering campus and learn about the many ways you can create your own engineering experience at UW-Madison. At these events, you’ll get to explore majors, learn about resources and ways you’ll be supported as a student, and talk with current students about their experiences as Badger engineers – both in and beyond the classroom. You will have the chance to connect with other admitted students and will meet engineering faculty, deans, staff, and current students who will welcome you, share lots of information, and answer all your questions.

“My favorite part of being an Engineering student is my work with Engineers Without Borders and as a Student Coordinator for the Engineering Outreach Initiative. It’s exciting to see how a water system is designed and created for small communities miles away from Madison! In EOI, I love the new programs and activities my team has created to promote STEM in underrepresented communities in Madison.”
