The City of
Engineering
The Cullen College of Engineering is uniquely positioned, literally and figuratively — to offer students and faculty world-class experiences in research and industry with its location in the city of Houston.
Known worldwide for its major energy, logistics and medical science presences, as well as its area proximity to the famous Johnson Space Center (“Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.”), Houston is both a historic and future-focused hub of research innovation and high-ranking industry activity.
This vibrant relationship between city and university is visible from the moment students first step foot on campus and throughout their years at Cullen, from available internships and research opportunities to unique insights shared by faculty members who stay in the loop – though not necessarily inside The Loop — with new developments in labs across the city, but it doesn’t stop when they walk the stage at Commencement. The college’s relationship with the city and the greater Houston area remains both a positive influence and a vital resource for recent grads and alumni as they navigate an ever-changing job market.
From oil and gas to vaccine development, human resources to logistics, Cullen College continues to stay one step ahead in research, innovation and opportunity thanks to its thriving connections to the Houston community.
