Are you a prospective student who is interested in engineering? A corporate representative on campus for recruiting? Or an alum visiting the campus? Whatever the reason, we are pleased to have you come visit us!

University Campus Tour

You can register for a university campus tour at Cal Poly Guided Tours. If you do not have a VIP yet, the web site will instruct you to create a VIP page and you can register for a university campus tour after completing that step.

College/Department Tours

College and Department tours are provided by the Engineering Ambassadors. Below is a brief description of what is covered for each type of tour and a link to register. Also, see this map for the location of the start of College tours and other information about planning your visit.

College Tours

College tours are an overview lab tour of the entire college. Labs from each department are highlighted. (Cancellations: Notifying us of a cancellation for college tours is not necessary.)

Department Tours

Department tours are lab tours of a particular department only. The focus of the tour is much more targeted and cover labs in a particular major. (Cancellations: We ask that you please call the Engineering Tour Info line at (805) 756-2853, if you need to cancel a department tour.)

“We took 18 club members to the Society of Black Engineers & Scientists convention in Pittsburgh, which was very inspiring.

It was the "Learn by Doing" mantra that first attracted me to Cal Poly. The Multicultural Engineering Program scholarship allowed me to focus on my studies. It also allowed me the time to be president of the Society of Black Engineers & Scientists. The support of companies that fund scholarships is vital and is, of course, very much appreciated.
