The Engineering Science program is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals. The base of the T-shaped curriculum is a common core built from select courses across several engineering disciplines (mechanical, electrical, and computer science) as well as the science and mathematics courses required by those programs. The depth of the curriculum is provided by technical electives. Electives from a variety of different engineering disciplines are offered, and students can specialize by taking courses focused in a single area. Some of the many fields students graduating from this program will be ready to work in are mechanical, electrical, industrial, design, and process engineering. Additionally, they will be eligible for graduate studies in any of these fields.
