Community is

Central

Central to the Engage LLC is its community core. You’ll be mentored by dedicated faculty as well as upper-level students. Other Engage students you meet will become your study group peers, your social fam, and your support group when coursework gets tough.

Beyond the

Books

Don’t let anyone tell you that engineering is all “study, study, study.” Outside the classroom and residence hall, Engage will take you on educational field trips to places like Oak Ridge National Laboratory. You’ll see the inside of Neyland Stadium, and let off steam at local laser tag, bowling, and Jump Jam locations.
