WELCOME ...to the Engineering Information Bureau at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. EIB is one of fifteen standing committees in Engineering Council whose programs are developed and implemented entirely by current engineering students. These programs offered are designed to inform interested individuals and groups - most often prospective students and their parents.

A Glance at our Programs

  • Engineering Campus Tours - Provided daily at 2:00 p.m. by current undergraduate engineering students, these tours showcase our engineering campus and give the prospective student and their parent(s) a chance to learn about the many opportunities our myriad of engineering departments have to offer.


  • Engineering Days - Open to all interested parties, Engineering Days are intended to introduce high school students to the many engineering curriculums that we offer at the University of Illinois. Students will visit classes and research labs, talk with engineering students, and much more. Please see the link for registration and up-to-date information.


  • Engineering Student Overnight Program - This program was introduced to augment Engineering Days. In addition to regular Engineering Days activities, prospective students will get a chance to spend one night with a current student. ESOP is a great way for prospective students to get a feel of college life before they have to live it!


  • E-Pen Pals Program - If you're interested in coming to the University of Illnois and would like to ask questions about engineering, student life, housing, social activities, getting involved in organizations, etc., sign-up to become an E-Pen Pal. Current students will be matched with you based on criteria such as major, high school size, and housing preference.


  • Shadow an Engineer Program - The Shadow Program allows visiting students to spend the day with a current engineering student at the University of Illinois and see what campus life is really like. Visiting students will sit in on lectures, see residence halls and facilities, and most importantly, get time to talk with current students about their experiences.
