Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering
Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering is a
brand new, innovative undergraduate institution that offers a
full-tuition scholarship valued at over $130,000 to every
admitted student.
Chartered in 1997, Olin College opened it
doors in the fall of 2002. However, the idea for Olin goes back
nearly two decades. That's when the National Science Foundation
and leaders of the engineering community began urging
fundamental reforms in engineering education, including more
emphasis on entrepreneurship, teamwork, and communication. The
F.W. Olin Foundation took up the challenge, committing more than
$460 million to create a new undergraduate engineering college.
Bringing together some of the best minds and the best ideas in
engineering education, Olin developed a hands-on,
interdisciplinary program geared toward today's technology
challenges. State-of-the-art facilities combined with
outstanding students and renowned faculty have quickly
established Olin as a nationally recognized center for
innovation and excellence in engineering education.
Olin's 300 undergraduates have the
opportunity to major in Electrical and Computer Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering or Engineering (general) with
concentrations in Bioengineering, Computing, Materials Science,
and Systems.
