The WIU School of Engineering

WIU is proud to serve as the first public institution in the Quad Cities to offer an engineering program. Our program is unique in that it incorporates design and team work throughout the curriculum, with ample opportunities for practical, hands-on engineering educational experiences. The program is also linked to business, industry, and the IP Institute through required internships and senior capstone design projects.

Community College Partnerships

WIU provides the junior and senior engineering courses at the WIU-QC campus, and the program is articulated with the pre-engineering transfer programs at the WIU-Macomb campus and community colleges in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri. WIU-QC offers an effective dual enrollment program wherein students may be simultaneously enrolled at a partner community college and the Engineering program(dual enrollment will be in WIU's pre-engineering prior to full admission to the Engineering program).

WIU - IP Partnership

The WIU-QC Engineering program is proud to announce its partnership with the Midwest Intellectual Property Management Institute (IP Institute).
