2026-2028 Catalog

https://engineering.calpoly.edu

The College of Engineering is an internationally-recognized, premier undergraduate engineering college. Its mission is to provide an excellent Learn by Doing Engineering and Computer Science education that empowers all its students to innovate, design and create sustainable solutions to real-world challenges. The College vision is to be nationally recognized for its rapidly diversifying student population and unique, Learn by Doing educational and applied research experiences. With the integration of the Solano campus, the college’s program offerings now also include unique maritime focused programs.

Cal Poly’s engineering and computer science programs are strongly oriented toward preparing graduates for immediate entry into professional practice. Students declare their majors when they enter the university, and generally take at least one course in that major each quarter ensuring early engagement and motivation. This approach helps students master the foundational mathematics, science, and engineering principles essential for success in all engineering disciplines.

The College’s bachelor of science programs provide the education needed for professional entry and advanced study. Cal Poly graduates are highly sought after by industry and pursue careers in engineering design, software and hardware development, systems analysis, manufacturing, applied research, and more. They find opportunities in industry, government, public utilities, and education, with many continuing to graduate study at Cal Poly or other institutions.

State-of-the-art facilities and laboratories form the foundation of the College’s project-centered Learn by Doing curriculum. From the Aircraft Design Lab to the Rotor Dynamics Laboratory, students engage with advanced systems that bridge theory and practice. Signature facilities such as the Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL), Bonderson Projects Center, and Engineering IV building promote interdisciplinary collaboration. The Bonderson Center offers 19,000 square feet of space for team-based projects and industry partnerships, while the 104,000-square-foot Engineering IV houses modern classrooms and labs for multiple disciplines. The ATL provides dedicated research and collaboration spaces that support innovation across programs.

At the Solano Campus, a key facility is the Training Ship Golden Bear (TSGB), where students are responsible for the safe operation of the ship's systems and its 17,000 hp twin-diesel main engine. To train students for situations that are difficult or unsafe to replicate aboard the TGSB, the campus also has a steam plant simulator and a diesel plant simulator. In addition to preparing students for careers in the maritime industry, the skills gained through courses in these facilities ready graduates for careers in power generation and facilities engineering.

The Noyce School of Applied Computing

The Noyce School of Applied Computing is a cross-college interdisciplinary school comprised of the Electrical Engineering department, the Computer Science and Software Engineering department, and the Computer Engineering department within the College of Engineering, and the Statistics department in the Bailey College of Science and Math. Together, these departments focus on applied computing research and industry collaboration, engaging in projects that leverage the strengths of Cal Poly’s faculty and students.

The School supports student success through summer undergraduate research and Learn by Doing opportunities at Cal Poly and with industry partners. Faculty collaborations with industry bring real-world problems into the classroom and research environment, enhancing student engagement while advancing applied research
