Integrated Science & Engineering at 245 Beacon
The Department of Engineering is located in 245 Beacon, Boston College’s new state-of-the-art 150,000 square-foot integrated science and engineering center. 245 Beacon is a high-powered interdisciplinary home to the Human-Centered Engineering major and acts as a campus-wide hub that connects applied science and engineering to the liberal arts. The building has active learning classrooms, flexible spaces for research, collaborating, designing, and making, and a first-floor cafe, Tully’s.
Active Learning in Engineering Classrooms
Visitors to the Department of Engineering’s teaching classrooms on the third floor of 245 Beacon will find students and faculty working on solving complex problems related to engineering and society. Engineering has two active learning labs. Room 302 is a dynamic classroom space designed for active learning with moveable and adjustable whiteboard tables. Room 311 has resin-topped tables and personal snorkels as well as a full suite of 3-D printers and engineering tools and materials.
