Engineers Back in School

Engineers in all career stages and industries are heading back to school. They include UW graduates, early career professionals, seasoned engineers, and mid to upper level managers from top-flight major firms and innovative startups.

Hear from the alumni and current students in the Engineering Professional Programs:

Kristen Bengtson
Global Integrated Systems and Engineering certificate

"The GISE program trains you to manage projects from a systems, global, and multicultural perspective."

Jack Peng
Aircraft Composite Structural Analysis and Design

"The courses teach the theory behind composites, so you are more confident in everything you do."

Michael Hansen
Electrical Engineering Professional Master's
Hansen chose to go back to school when he reached the classic "fork in the road" for senior engineers — go into management or deeper into the technical side.

Steve Rabin
Master of Computer Science & Engineering

"All the professors in the PMP are leaders in their respective fields and they bring so much value to the courses."
