 Return to: School of Engineering and Applied Science
UVA Engineering is located in a complex of buildings, including Thornton Hall, named after the first dean of engineering. Thornton Hall houses the school’s administrative offices, the departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Engineering and Society, and a portion of the Department of Engineering Systems and Environment, along with assorted research laboratories. South of Thornton Hall is Olsson Hall, which houses part of Engineering Systems and Environment and the multidisciplinary Link Lab for cyber-physical systems. Rice Hall houses the Department of Computer Science and other academic offices, classroom and laboratories. The Department of Materials Science and Engineering is housed in both Jesser Hall and part of Wilsdorf Hall, which also houses a portion of the Department of Chemical Engineering. Adjacent to these buildings two buildings housing the departments of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Chemical Engineering. The Department of Biomedical Engineering is located in Building MR5, which is part of the UVA Health Sciences Center.
The Charles L. Brown Science and Engineering Library located in Clark Hall, has research collections that support students and faculty in the Engineering and Environmental Sciences programs. The Brown Library has reservable spaces for collaborative study and teleconferencing. Brown also houses specialized research support — the Data Management Consulting group works with researchers who need data management plans for funded research, and the StatLab provides research consultations on data analysis and statistical methods.
The Center for Engineering Career Development provides comprehensive career development services for all engineering students. In addition to individual career advising appointments, the center serves as a resource for information on industry trends, the job market and recruiting results for engineering students, employers, parents, and faculty. The center also connects students with alumni and prospective employers via career fairs, networking events, the Virginia Alumni Mentoring program, employer information sessions, and on-Grounds interviews in collaboration with the UVA Career Center.
The Center for Diversity in Engineering (CDE) supports the recruitment, retention and engagement of students historically underrepresented in engineering. Women, people of color, and international graduate students receive tools to enhance their academic experiences through mentorship, academic support, professional development, and community activities.
