COMMUNITY INSIDE UINDY’S R.B. ANNIS SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING

In eight short years—since its launch in 2017—the R.B. Annis School of Engineering has grown from a graduating class of just 15 to a nationally respected program. What began in shared classrooms in Esch Hall now thrives in a dedicated building, where students gain the skills, experience, and confidence to tackle real-world challenges from day one.

Setting the Standard for Engineering Education

In a testament to the quality of its programs and commitment to student success, the R.B. Annis School of Engineering recently earned accreditation for all six of its bachelor’s degree engineering programs by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. “I am extremely pleased to announce this exciting news to our students, our faculty, our graduates and the business community,” said Dr. Ken Reid, associate dean. “It is rare for an institution to have multiple programs earn full accreditation on its inaugural visit—and we are six for six.” ABET accreditation affirms what students, alumni, and industry partners already know—UIndy delivers a rigorous, hands-on engineering education that prepares its graduates to excel in the workforce. As one of only two accredited engineering programs in Indianapolis, the School has quickly established itself as a leader in engineering education and innovation.
