Graduates from the University of Illinois come out of school better prepared than many of their counterparts from other universities in terms of their ability to immediately contribute to project work.

Greg Fischer,
Senior Vice President, Shannon & Wilson Inc.
U of I's CEE program is always my first choice for recruiting top talent into our industry. The program produces more first-round draft choices than Michigan's athletic department.
