What College of Engineering - UPRM does

The College of Engineering at the University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez (UPRM) is a public academic institution and one of four colleges on the UPRM campus, founded in 1911 and located in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. It is the largest engineering college in Puerto Rico, enrolling approximately 5,000 undergraduate and over 250 graduate students, and is recognized by ASEE as one of the top producers of Hispanic engineers in the United States. The college delivers ABET-accredited undergraduate and graduate engineering programs across seven departments: Engineering Sciences and Materials, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering and Surveying, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Computer Science and Engineering, spanning Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Industrial, Software, Computer Science, and Mechanical Engineering disciplines plus Surveying and Topography. The Computer Science and Engineering program holds dual ABET accreditation.

The college operates an integrated educational and workforce-development platform that combines degree programs with a COOP cooperative education work-placement program, the R2DEEP pre-engineering recruitment and retention initiative, Summer Engineering Camps for high-school students and educators, the ECoS industry-engagement program, a Placement Office, an Industrial Advisory Board, and an annual Engineering Now magazine. It does not develop or commercialize proprietary technology platforms; its core technology footprint is the academic curriculum and student-support infrastructure. Revenue derives from tuition within the University of Puerto Rico system, government appropriations, external research grants and contracts, and donations processed through the UPRM donation portal. The customer base comprises prospective and current engineering students (primary), educators and STEM professionals, and industry/employer partners that recruit graduates and participate in the COOP program and Industrial Advisory Board. The college is owned and controlled by the Government of Puerto Rico through the UPR system.
