Bachelor of Science in Engineering
This degree program was established to introduce flexibility into the College of
Engineering. Within the 66 credits of the option portion of the program, a student
can pursue a focused curriculum in areas such as business administration, industrial
management, environmental engineering, biomedical engineering, and premedicine.
The program of study may be very narrow as in the case of a student
wishing to specialize in structural design, foundation and soil mechanics. For
another student interested in patent law, the program may be broad, touching on
chemical, mechanical, and electrical engineering subjects. The individual’s program
is designed to meet each student’s announced goals.
Admission
Admission to the program is restricted. A student requests admission by letter to
the associate dean of the College of Engineering, outlining in some detail the particular
objective and how the Bachelor of Science in Engineering program may enable
the student to prepare for career goals. The mathematics, physics, and chemistry
requirements are identical to those of the ABET accredited programs in Chemical
Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.
