About the Program

Sweet Briar College’s all-women engineering program is ideal both for students who are unsure of their capabilities and require more one-on-one with faculty in small classrooms as well as those who clearly want to become engineers.

Employers of our students value their self-confidence, self-efficacy, and pro-activity as well as technical proficiency in both mechanical and electrical engineering. They are equally well-prepared for graduate-level work in many engineering specializations.

The Margaret Jones Wyllie ’45 Engineering Program is ABET accredited, meaning our graduates leave with the right credentials to enter the engineering profession.

We have well-appointed facilities to ensure a hands-on learning experience.
