The best value in high-quality engineering education
FGCU's School of Engineering was established in fall 2005 and became the U.A. Whitaker College of Engineering (WCE) in August 2011.
The WCE is located in Holmes Hall, a building that was specifically designed for student-centered teaching of engineering and computing courses in an active and collaborative learning environment. The college has 30 faculty and staff and over 976 students. We offer undergraduate degree programs in bioengineering, civil engineering, environmental engineering and software engineering (as well as an undergraduate degree in computer science for students who were on campus before fall 2011).
MISSION
To produce engineering and construction leaders in selected disciplines with strong technical competence and professional skills to meet the challenges of Southwest Florida and beyond.
VISION
To provide the best value in high-quality engineering and construction education.
We are competitive
Throughout the year, FGCU engineering students team up to put classroom learning and project management skills into action in competitive events locally and across the country.
