The Brown University School of Engineering is the engineering school of Brown University, a private Ivy League research university located in Providence, Rhode Island. Brown's engineering program is the third oldest civilian engineering program in the United States and the oldest undergraduate program in the Ivy League. The School of Engineering is noted for its historically prominent contributions to continuum and applied mechanics, originally led by European émigré researchers in the 20th century.[1][2][3][4] Brown's Division of Engineering was elevated in 2010 to its current status as a school.[5]

The Brown University School of Engineering awards undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees. The school additionally offers a 5th-year master program as well as a joint graduate program with the Rhode Island School of Design.[6] Although undergraduate students may officially declare their concentration in engineering as late as the end of their sophomore year, students with an intention in concentration in engineering typically must begin the engineering curriculum their first semester at Brown.[citation needed]

Brown's Engineering Research Center is the school's newest building.
