College Visits and Tours

INFORMATION SESSIONS + TOURS

Interested in experiencing all that engineering at UGA has to offer? Attend one of our Information Sessions. These events involve a formal presentation from staff where prospective undergraduate students and families are able to learn about our curriculum, experiential learning opportunities, student groups and competitions, support for entrepreneurship and innovation, and much more. All Information Sessions are followed by an engineering facilities tour led by College of Engineering Student Ambassadors. Information Sessions begin at 2:00pm in the Georgia Power Auditorium (RM 1453) in Driftmier Engineering Center. Registration is required.
