The world needs engineers with vision.
At URI’s College of Engineering, you’ll find opportunities to work alongside visionary researchers developing technologies that improve lives, expand knowledge, and explore new frontiers.
Our students are central to this work. Guided by faculty mentors, they’re expanding access to clean water in rural communities, creating advanced sensors for robotic systems, and engineering biomedical technologies to detect and treat disease. URI engineers intern and perform research around the globe, collaborating on sustainable energy projects, innovating fuel-efficient transportation, and tackling challenges that transcend borders.
See the World. Shape the Future.
