Come see for yourself all of the great things that are going on here at the School of Engineering.

Join us to experience what's happening at the School of Engineering! We are excited to offer small, guided tours to prospective high school or transfer students and families, led by our undergraduate engineering students. Our tour guides will stop at various laboratory and classroom facilities so you can see the exciting work of our engineering students and faculty, and learn about the undergraduate degree programs and Santa Clara Engineering experience. This is a great opportunity to have all your questions answered about Santa Clara University's School of Engineering!
