Your story starts here

How it unfolds is up to you

Welcome to a college … at a university … in an amazing city … with so many options to make your experience—yours. We’re top-ranked. We’re literally in the best college town. We Jump Around (and lots more). You’ll do engineering. You’ll learn from incredible people. You’ll be an engineer who can make an impact. Your way.

Congratulations on your acceptance to UW-Madison as a Badger engineer! We hope your story starts here.

Come to campus for a Wisconsin Engineering Experience event!

Maybe you’ve visited already. Maybe you’ve only seen us virtually. Either way, we’d love to see you for a more in-depth look at what college life here is like! If UW-Madison admitted you directly to the College of Engineering for fall 2026, we’ll email you a few invitations. You’ll have options.
Note: One panel is always open. Activating an open panel will advance to the next panel. Use arrow keys to navigate between panels.

Here’s your chance to find out how you can create your own Badger engineering experience at our signature event for admitted students. While your parents, guardians or family members are learning about College of Engineering student support and resources at their own event, you’ll:

  • Talk with real engineering students (tip: it’s a good time to ask questions)
  • Explore engineering majors

After that, you’ll all attend our open house, which includes a huge resource fair and a chance to explore the spaces you’ll be using as an engineer.

Details:

  • Dates—March 13, March 27, April 10, April 25 (these dates coincide with the university’s Future Badger Days)
  • Event duration—3.75 hours (1:30 to 5:15 p.m.)

“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.”
