Overview

edit
The Collaborative Design and Integration Studio (CDIS) features flexible work areas and high-end technology for students to work in teams on complex projects.

Although engineering has been taught at UGA since 1844, the formal College of Engineering was not established until 2012.[3] Donald J. Leo served as dean from 2013, a year after the college was established; enrollment grew from fewer than 1,000 students to more than 2,800 during his tenure.[4] In May 2024, Leo was named executive vice president and provost at Ohio University and left UGA on July 1, 2024.[4] Stephan Durham served as interim dean from June 1, 2024.[2] Following a nationwide search, Alessandro "Alex" Orso was appointed dean effective July 1, 2025.[2]

In fiscal year 2025, research expenditures totaled $17.82 million, up 14.5 percent from the previous year.[1]
