Choose Your Path

The engineering curriculum at Iowa begins with three semesters in common. This helps students build a solid engineering foundation, connect with peers, and choose their specific major. Students then use the remaining five semesters to delve into major-specific courses, choose an elective focus area, and complete broader general education requirements.
