University of Washington College of Engineering

The University of Washington College of Engineering is the engineering school of the University of Washington, a public research university in Seattle, Washington, United States.

Faculty of UW Engineering have included 27 members of the National Academy of Engineering, 32 Sloan Foundation Research Award recipients, and two MacArthur Foundation Fellows.

[3] In autumn 2017, the college began a "Direct to College" admission process by which prospective freshman can apply directly to the college to be assured a place in an engineering major.

Accepted students must still meet minimum progress requirements to enter a major.

The process was created in response to the growing competition at the college, where fewer than half of undergraduates who apply to major in engineering are accepted.
