The University of Tennessee – Tickle College of Engineering

Since 1838, the Tickle College of Engineering has proven its commitment to excellence in scientific research and graduating engineering professionals. Programs spanning most major fields are offered, with two nationally ranked in the top 25 and several others among the top 30 of all public institutions. In addition, the college has seven nationally renowned research centers and more than 100 state-of-the-art laboratories. Many of our graduates have risen to top positions in industry, government, and academia, including nine astronauts who have literally risen, spending a collective 1,000 days (and counting!) in space.

Over the past several years, research in the Tickle College of Engineering has grown by leaps and bounds, with increases in funding, leadership positions, and new facilities, as well as significant growth in PhD student enrollment. This growth has enhanced support of graduate programs and new facilities, including the Zeanah Engineering Complex, set to open in August.
