This is not a drop-off event. The University of Virginia expects parents or guardians to provide supervision over minors on University property during this event. Parents or guardians should not leave minors unsupervised on University property.
Engineers are problem-solvers at heart – born innovators who create knowledge and technologies to advance every aspect of human life. UVA Engineering students are poised to become leaders in their fields, combining engineering expertise with leadership experiences, communication skills and a foundation of engineering ethics.
Whether they are passionate about healthcare, dedicated to cybersecurity, or focused on solving other societal problems, UVA Engineers bring unique perspectives and skills to everything they pursue.
