It takes hard work to be great, but when you love what you do, that journey is worth every second. We believe that when you become an Engineering Vol, you have no limits. Sure, there may be obstacles to overcome as you pursue your passion, but we are here to help you tackle them.

Our college is known for its supportive environment. You can tap into what defines you and pursue it to the fullest with backup from our student-focused resources, a network of advisors and faculty mentors, and the friends you will make on Rocky Top.

We proudly celebrate the wide scope of pursuits and passions enjoyed by our Engineering Vols family. We are musicians. Entrepreneurs. Athletes. Restauranteurs. “Engineer” is just one word to describe who you will be once you join us.
