A minor for all Hokies! 💻🦃 Starting this fall, students in every major across Virginia Tech will have the opportunity to build AI skills and literacy they can apply to any field of study and to their careers as they enter a workforce where AI will be part of nearly every profession.

Applications to join the minor program will open in August for all undergraduates. Incoming students can add some of the minor’s classes to their schedules starting this month.

New artificial intelligence minor launches this fall The interdisciplinary minor will give students in every major the opportunity to build artificial intelligence skills, explore ethical impacts, and use that information in fields ranging from business and public policy to music and filmmaking.

We're excited to share the College of Engineering was well represented in the subject rankings as part of U.S. News and World Report's 2026-27 Best Global Universities rankings! 🎉

Radio frequency signals used by naval vessels to maintain communication with shore can be frequently disrupted by environmental challenges, such as water reflections, weather, and terrestrial obstructions. 🛳️

Five engineering students partnered with the Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division to design and test a radio-frequency communication system that models how these environmental factors disrupt naval signals.
