Enrollment Opportunities

Starting at the Boston campus, first-year students will have the opportunity to be immersed in a diverse, global, and thriving campus environment.

Our vibrant campus is unique within the city, a one-of-a-kind sanctuary of green spaces and tree-lined pathways in the heart of Boston. It truly is a campus within a city. One of the country's greatest walking cities, having Boston in your backyard opens you up to a cultural hub with much to see and do. Take a short walk or hop on the easy-to-use public transportation system (the "T") to explore popular nearby destinations.

As with all of Northeastern's Global Network of campuses, the Boston experience harnesses the power of place to provide an unparalleled experience full of history, industry, and educational opportunities. Boston provides an excellent backdrop for those seeking an experience deeply ingrained in the city's culture.

This innovative degree program offers students a unique opportunity to learn through hands-on, project-based experiences. Grounded in Northeastern’s renowned experiential learning model, the program is designed to mirror the realities of today’s engineering landscape. This is a degree program where creativity, collaboration, and iteration drive innovation and produce results—our students will be working on real problems with industry/government partners from day one.

Students will engage directly with the full engineering and design process—imagining ideas, building prototypes, testing solutions, refining concepts, and tackling real-world challenges. With an emphasis on design thinking, entrepreneurship, and emerging technologies like AI, this curriculum prepares students to become agile problem-solvers and forward-thinking innovators. Along the way, students build a portfolio of completed engineering projects, develop a network of industry professionals who know their work, and gain the hands-on experience employers value.

Students in the Engineering Design program will study on our Oakland campus for all four years, immersed in the Bay Area’s vibrant tech and innovation ecosystem. To support your experience, limited scholarships are available for students beginning in the second year of the program. Scholarship award amounts vary, and students will have the opportunity to apply during the fall semester of their first year.
