The Engineering Learning Community exists as a supportive environment for students majoring in engineering. The community provides access to College of Engineering faculty and staff while aiming to give students an overview of career opportunities in the diverse field of engineering.
Engineering House Learning Community is open to all incoming first year students, sophomores, and juniors that have been admitted into the College of Engineering. Our community is located in Peter J. Werth Residence Tower.
Every year we have many more applicants to our community than there are spots to grant. The UConn Office of First Year Programs and Learning Communities determines learning community housing assignments for first-year students; the College of Engineering does not. For more information, you will need to contact the program coordinator: Sara Dahlen.
