Navigation

Utility Menu

Located in the top right corner of every page, the utility menu which gives you quick access to College of Engineering Facilities, People, Tools & Services, and Units. The utility menu is present on every page, for ease of access. 

College pages and menu bar

Learn about the college on the ‘About’ page. Explore our degree programs and info for future students on the ‘Academics’ page. The ‘Research’ page gives you access to facilities, research initiatives, and signature research areas. On the ‘Alumni & Partner’ page find resources for alumni, including events and alumni publications.  

School pages

One of the most noticeable improvements in the new website is the ease of navigation. A set of top-level navigation tabs on the upper left and upper right of every page will let you easily find the information you need.  

Breadcrumbs

We have made it easy to stay oriented, no matter how deep into the website you’ve gone. Breadcrumbs just below the top-level navigation tabs will allow you to easily get back to exactly where you want to be. URL's are intuitive and consistent.
