The IIT Armour College of Engineering traces its roots to Armour Institute, founded in 1890 to prepare students of all backgrounds for leadership roles - primarily as engineers - in a changing industrial society. Armour College carries on that tradition of excellence in engineering education and research.
Today, Armour College is home to close to 90 full-time faculty, more than 2,200 undergraduate and graduate students, and the graduate and undergraduate programs of five engineering departments.
IIT emphasizes the undergraduate experience:
- The university has been investing in renovations of eight state-of-the-art undergraduate teaching laboratories.
- IIT is home to more than eight wind tunnels.
- More than eighty IIT students contributed to the electrical and mechanical design of an open-wheel, single-seat hybrid racecar, which was developed for competition in the annual Formula Hybrid Competition at Dartmouth University.
Undergraduate degrees offered by Armour College are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology. All IIT graduate and undergraduate programs are also accredited by the North Central Association (NCA).
