The Bobby B. Lyle School of Engineering brings together the world's leading experts in fields including electrical and computer engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, environmental and civil engineering, and information management. Not only are Lyle Engineering Engineering faculty at the leading edge of research and scholarship, they are widely regarded as some of the nation's best teachers and mentors. The 50 full-time faculty average more than 14 years of experience after receiving their doctorate.

All doctoral-holding faculty teach bachelors, masters, and Ph.D. courses. Lectures are designed, delivered and taught by faculty, not graduate students. Exams are generally designed, delivered and graded by faculty. The Lyle School of Engineering strategically uses adjunct professors who work full-time in industry to teach certain specialty courses where industry viewpoints are particularly beneficial to the course content.

One key feature that distinguishes Lyle Engineering is a strong belief in "hands-on" instruction from all levels of the faculty - from the Dean's office to the laboratory assistants.

Because we maintain small class sizes, you will have the opportunity to interact directly with some of the world's foremost professors - from your freshman year forward.

And, we maintain a high level of communication and "availability" between faculty and students. Every member of the Lyle Engineering faculty and staff strives to know each student - resulting in an ideal way to maximize your learning experience.
