University of Florida Graduate School
The internationally recognized Engineering and Industrial Experiment
Station (EIES) is the research arm of the College of Engineering. It
was officially established in 1941 by the Florida Legislature. Its
primary purpose is to perform research that benefits the state's
industries, health, welfare, and public services. The EIES also works
to enhance our nation's global competitive posture by developing
new materials, devices, and processes. The EIES provides significant
opportunities for undergraduate and graduate engineering students
to participate in hands-on, cutting-edge research.
The EIES addresses a wide variety of state and national research
issues through the college's academic departments and engineering
research centers. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to research
by involving talents from diverse areas of the College and the
University. Particle science and technology, nanoscience and
technology, materials, intelligent machines, transportation,
biomedical engineering, computer technologies and systems,
communications, information systems, energy systems, robotics,
construction and manufacturing technologies, computer-aided
design, process systems, a broad spectrum of research related to
the "public sector" (agricultural, civil, coastal, and environmental)
represent some of the EIES broad-based research programs.

UF Electronic Delivery of Graduate Engineering
(UF EDGE)
UF EDGE offers online graduate engineering master's degrees,
courses and certificates from the College of Engineering. The UF
EDGE program allows engineers to obtain their master's degrees
from any location without the need to travel to the UF campus. All
course lectures and materials are delivered online and distance
students submit homework via e-mail and have exams proctored at
their places of work to be faxed in for grading. A master's degree is
comprised of 10 courses totaling 30 credit hours. Students can take
as many courses per semester as their work and life schedules
permit, thus setting their own pace toward their degrees. Employers
may provide financial support for these graduate courses. Students
wishing to participate in the UF EDGE program should contact the
UF EDGE office at (352) 392-9670 or visit the website at
www.ufedge.ufl.edu for more detailed information. UF EDGE and the
UF College of Engineering are also part of the statewide delivery
system known as The Florida Engineering Education Delivery System
(FEEDS). Students pursuing a degree through UF EDGE and the
College of Engineering are governed by the College's requirements,
the academic unit to which they have been admitted, and the
Graduate School.
