small
class size, extensive laboratory experiences, design projects
starting with freshman year and culminating in the capstone
year-long senior design project, opportunities for students to work
with faculty on research and a faculty dedicated to the
teach/scholar model of education all contribute to a strong
educational experience for TCU engineering students.

The
art of engineering includes being able to clearly communicate ideas,
both in written reports and in formal and informal presentations,
and work effectively in a team setting; TCU's engineering students
work in teams and give presentations throughout their course of
study. The TCU engineering faculty also believe that knowledge
of engineering ethics and having the ability to find solutions to
open-ended problems are also an important part of the art of
engineering. Finally, TCU's graduation requirements are built
around the idea that students require a broad exposure to the
liberal arts in order to facilitate their development as outstanding
citizens in the global community.
