Stanford Engineering offers 16 defined undergraduate majors (https://soed9-stage.stanford.edu/students-academics/academics/undergraduate-degree-programs), plus the option to design your own. Coterm (https://soed9-stage.stanford.edu/admission-aid/coterminal-study-engineering) and graduate programs (https://soed9-stage.stanford.edu/students-academics/academics/graduate-degree-programs) are offered in all engineering departments (https://soed9-stage.stanford.edu/faculty-research/departments).

Faculty have developed blended courses that involve interactive learning in addition to traditional lectures, as well as hands-on opportunities for students to take courses in the environments best suited to their learning styles.

Engineering curricula emphasizes fundamental knowledge, tools and skills, while allowing many opportunities for engineering students to take advantage of the excellent courses and programs offered by other schools at Stanford. About 10 percent of all engineering majors choose to double-major, many study overseas for a quarter or more, and most are involved in extracurricular activities.
