Incorporating a masters degree in engineering (MSE) with a required supplementary business core and culture core (including language proficiency), EGL students leave the College of Engineering after 5 years as highly qualified and sought after graduates.

The five main components to the EGL Academic Program are: 1. Earning a Masters degree

2. Acquiring a Business Core

3. Studying a Culture Region

4. Learning a New Language

5. Completing a Capstone Project

EGL Honor Society

2007 EGL Board:

Broomball Dynasty
In Fall 2006, the EGL Broomball team won their 30th Intramural Broomball Championship. Led by superstar Jens Nielsen, the EGL Broomball team dominated its competition during a grueling playoff schedule. After winning their first 5 games by an average of 6 goals, they ran into trouble in the finals against the dreaded Main Street All-Stars. An unlikely hero emerged in the second half; long-time EGL Pedro Vaz scored a hat trick to put EGL ahead for good, securing yet another championship. After the glorious victory the entire team slid across the ice (on their bellies) in celebration.

Innertube Water Polo Legends
In Winter 2007, the EGL Innertube Water Polo team takes on some of the fiercest competition at the University of Michigan. It is clear that EGL will obtain back-to-back championships in broomball and innertube water polo. Good luck competition.

Pedro Vaz Peer Counseling Center
The Pedro Vaz Peer Counseling Center was dedicated to 4-year peer counseling veteran Pedro Vaz on March 18, 2006.

College Rollout
In Winter of 2005, the EGL program extended beyond the Industrial and Operations Engineering and Mechanical Engineering departments to all 14 CoE departments.
