Engineering Science, BE
This program reflects the societal need to solve complex challenges through an understanding of scientific principles and engineering design. The program combines a cross-disciplinary approach to give students the background to tackle these future challenges. Engineering today encompasses many new technologies, but the core educational requirements remain a thorough grounding in mathematics, sciences, engineering sciences, and design. The Engineering Science degree then allows students to specialize in one of three options: Physics, Chemistry, and Environmental. All options integrate design throughout the curriculum, beginning with the first year and culminating in a senior-level design project. Consequently, graduates of the program are well prepared to do analytic work and participate as design team members in engineering projects. The options guarantee a specificity of expertise within the Engineering Science program. They do so through directed technical electives as outlined below under each of the three headings.
