Once a Highlander Engineer. Always a Highlander Engineer.
Highlander Engineers are solving problems that shape everyday life, from healthcare and clean energy to computing, infrastructure, and advanced research. Across California and around the world, BCOE alumni lead teams, launch companies, mentor students, recruit talent, support scholarships, and help create hands-on learning opportunities for the next generation of engineers.
BCOE students learn by doing through research, senior design, student organizations, professional development, and industry collaboration. Alumni are an important part of that experience, returning as mentors, speakers, employers, project sponsors, donors, advisors, and community builders.
