Union Engineering

A Small School Environment with Big School Facilities

At Union, our students get the best of both worlds. We are a small school featuring close interactions between students and faculty, small class sizes, and a close knit and happy community of learners, teachers, and support staff that is the envy of our peers.

On the other hand, our students also enjoy equipment and facilities that are usually not found in small schools. This includes Atomic Force Microscopes (yes, plural), a scanning electron microscope, a full size wind tunnel, and outstanding teaching and research labs. Our building facilities are also top notch featuring the recently completed Integrated Science and Engineering Complex (ISEC), a professionally staffed 6,500 square feet machine shop, an array of maker space facilities and state-of-the art classrooms and study spaces.

Small surprise then, that a recent survey of students by Princeton Review magazine ranked us #2 for laboratory facilities.
