May is National Inventors’ Month. To celebrate, we took a moment to applaud innovation at The University of Alabama, which is designated one of the Top 100 U.S. Universities in 2024 by the National Academy of Inventors.
In 1837, The University of Alabama became one of the first five universities in the nation to offer engineering classes. Today, UA’s College of Engineering has more than 5,200 students and more than 170 faculty. In recent years, students in the College have been named USA Today All-USA College Academic Team members, Goldwater, Hollings, Portz, Boren, Mitchell and Truman scholars.
