ENGINEER CHANGE
 
A UCLA Samueli education balances a strong theoretical foundation with practical, hands-on activities in real-world engineering environments. All of our undergraduate students have the opportunity to conduct research or participate in an internship. See how we are creating an educational plan that allows our students to engineer change in the world around them.
