McKelvey School of Engineering

Engineers in the Community is a community-engaged, project-based course where WashU undergraduate engineering students complete projects for community partners in St. Louis. The partners range in areas from healthcare to environmental justice to educational equity, and beyond.

The Sever Institute at the McKelvey School of Engineering at WashU offers traditional and alternative courses for working professionals. It builds on experience to provide technical and leadership skills to St. Louis residents at their own pace.

The Technology & Leadership Center at McKelvey Engineering School provides community members with professional development including training, continued education, and certification specialization.

Studio: TESLA, which stands for Teaching Engineering in the St. Louis Area, serves as an after-school clinic for underserved youth in the St. Louis area. It is WashU student-run and works to build STEAM literacy through hands-on design challenges.

This joint UMSL and WashU program provides a flexible engineering program for those in the St. Louis community. Students take pre engineering courses through UMSL and take the upper level engineering courses and labs at WashU in the evenings. The program offers three different types of accredited bachelor of engineering degrees: Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Students are able to pay the more affordable UMSL fees while benefitting from both schools.
