Toray Plastics Pledges $2M to University of Rhode Island

The University of Rhode Island has awarded engineering degrees since 1893. The first class consisted of just five graduates, all in mechanical engineering. Since that era, the University expanded its engineering programs to form the College of Engineering, which currently enrolls 1,316 undergraduate students and 231 graduate students. In addition, the college's award-winning International Engineering Program provides a global perspective, allowing engineers to graduate with bachelors' degrees in engineering and a second degree in one of six different languages.
