We make groundbreaking discoveries in systems biology and biomedical data science, medical imaging, and cellular and tissue engineering. Working closely with faculty in BME and the UVA School of Medicine, plus corporations and startups, you will apply these breakgthroughs to advance human health.

Drawing on expertise in areas like catalysis, electrochemical systems, transport properties of biological systems and polymers for membranes and biomaterials, our faculty bridge the gaps between molecular-level interactions and real-world applications. Using advanced molecular engineering strategies, we are driving innovation in fields as varied and as important to society as solar energy and battery technologies, natural gas to chemical conversions, water purification, pollutant remediation, tissue engineering and pharmaceutical processing and drug delivery.

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering offers several graduate degree options for advanced study in civil and environmental engineering. An advanced degree can enhance employment options in industry, government, or academia.

Computer engineers design, program, produce, operate, and maintain computer and digital systems. They generally apply the theories and principles of science and mathematics to the design of hardware, software, networks, and processes to solve technical problems.

Our graduate programs provide thought leadership via award-winning research, out-of-the-box solutions and turning-point ideas.

If you are eager to pursue research in high-performance materials for sustainability, public health, global competitiveness and national defense, then you have arrived at the right place.

Mechanical engineers use the principles of energy, materials, and mechanics to design, analyze, optimize and manufacture machines and devices of all types and scales. They create the processes and systems that drive technology and industry, while aerospace engineers develop innovations and technologies for use in aviation, defense systems, and space exploration.

Systems Engineering exposes students to a wide range of topics within the field, including the economic, environmental, managerial, technical, and political aspects of large-scale systems design and implementation.
