Accepting Learning Community applicants for the 2010-2011 Academic year

The Engineering LC, one of the Engineering and Natural Sciences communities, brings together students majoring in Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, and Environmental Engineering.  This community supports students as they gain the tools, knowledge, and perspectives they need to become leaders within the engineering profession.  Interacting with faculty, entering design competitions, and seeking out internships and exchange programs are some of the activities that students within these majors will benefit from. LC residents live together in Reilly Hall.
