The Engineering Peer Tutoring Lab is a tutoring service offered by the UAB School of Engineering. The center is funded by a gift from Alabama Power. This financial assistance enables tutors to earn a stipend while providing extra instruction, guidance or encouragement to undergraduates in engineering or related science and math courses. Tutoring sessions are free and open to all currently enrolled UAB engineering students. Students currently enrolled in an Engineering class can find more information and access Zoom sessions through the Engineering Peer Tutoring Lab page on Canvas.

Each UAB engineering student must have a laptop with the necessary software installed for each of their classes. Students who need assistance installing required software can request help from the School of Engineering IT group in GH 5201. Please check with instructors on the first day of class to learn what software is required for each course.
Additionally, UAB IT operates TechConnect, a computer store in the Hill University Center where students and employees can purchase computers and software at discounted prices. Any questions may be directed to
Note: Engineering software may also be accessed through the School of Engineering's "virtual computer lab" with no installation required. Public-use computers in the Sterne Library are also able to connect to the virtual computer lab. While students may use the library computers at any time, they do not exempt a student from the above laptop requirement.
Things to Know
- Windows-based laptops only. Apple products or computers that use a Linux operating system may not run required engineering software.
- Software will be installed on each student’s laptop, allowing remote access to School of Engineering resources through a virtual private network (VPN).
Engineering students may participate in honors study in two ways: through the University Honors College or through the School of Engineering Honors Program…or both! Students in the University Honors College complement their engineering curriculum with courses that promote hands-on service learning and critical thinking. Students in the Engineering Honors Program take advanced courses and participate in research in their chosen field of study. Both programs help students develop confidence and independence while boosting communication and research skills.
University Honors College
Many engineering students participate in the University Honors College. Students take special classes and seminars that promote critical thinking, leadership, and communication. Visit the Honors College website for details about admission and programs. Click here for An Engineering Student’s Guide to Honors College Requirements that will help you navigate the different Honors College programs.
Engineering Honors Program
Engineering Honors programs are also offered by all undergraduate degree programs in the School of Engineering. Visit each department's website to see specific honors program requirements. You can also view the general Engineering Honors requirements in the UAB Undergraduate Catalog. Invitations to participate in the program are extended by the Dean’s office in May of each year. Students who complete an honors program in engineering with a minimum GPA of 3.0 will receive a bachelor’s degree “with Honors” in addition to any university honors designations.

Educational Objectives & Student Outcomes
What is an engineer? That’s not always an easy question to answer. At the UAB School of Engineering, there are five separate departments offering six undergraduate majors. In any one of them, students will find a solid foundation that will help mold a highly versatile engineer with a variety of marketable career choices.
In addition to six majors, the School of Engineering offers 13 minors that allow students to customize their education according to their interests and career objectives. Interested in biomedical engineering and world health? There is a major/minor combination for that. Materials engineering and business? You can do that too!
The School of Engineering also has fast-track programs that allow students to earn a bachelor’s and master’s degree in less time, accelerating the path to career or graduate study goals.
