Freshman Year ExperienceThe opportunities available to first year students in engineering seek to enhance both the curricular and co-curricular experience of pursuing an engineering degree at the UA. Introduction to Engineering (ENGR 102) encourages informed major selection and continued exploration of growing engineering fields. The Engineering Zone, a co-ed residential living-learning community (LLC), supports first year engineering students as they make the transition from high school to college, both socially and academically. Additionally, engineering student organizations, project clubs, and scholar societies encourage first year students to make friends, have fun, and get involved on campus!
