Congratulations to all our admitted UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science transfer students!  We would like to invite all admitted students and their families to join us at our virtual Discover UCLA Engineering for transfer students (DUET) events on Saturday, May 11, 2024 from 2 – 4:30 PM.

We have a fun and informative day planned that starts with an Engineering Welcome from our deans and information from the Engineering Transfer Center about the Accelerator program for incoming engineering transfer students that starts the day after SIR in June. 

Our Engineering Welcome will follow with a virtual Community Expo where students can join Zoom sessions hosted by their Engineering Department.  You will be able to meet with faculty, staff and your academic counselors as well as student leaders from your department’s student organizations and design teams.  Returning engineering transfer students will be available to answer your questions about UCLA Engineering and transitioning your learning from your previous institution. Finally, the Engineering Undergraduate Internship & Research Program and Engineering Transfer Center staff will host a session to share information and answer your questions.
