Note: This program is not accepting applications for the 2024-2025 academic year.

The following information is for students who matriculated into this program in the 2022-2023 academic year.

Overview

The cross-disciplinary 128-credit Bachelor of Science in Engineering, offered by the Department of Engineering, Technology and Management, combines learning from several areas to create unique skill sets that are highly marketable. The curriculum not only takes courses from several departments and offers concentrations or study plans in engineering but also provides a basis for further study in business, law, medicine or further study in an engineering graduate program. The optional interdisciplinary concentrations and study plans include:

  • Computer Hardware and Software Engineering (study plan)
  • Electromechanical Engineering (concentration)
  • Energy and Power Engineering (concentration)
  • Engineering Fundamentals (study plan)

To give students the opportunity to understand these specialties, the College provides a strong foundation in the basic sciences and mathematics in a common first year. The Department of Engineering, Technology, and Management then aims to bring together the in-demand cross-functional skill sets desired in many industries, including the analysis, design and development of systems for diverse applications. The curriculum emphasizes a rigorous treatment of the mathematical and scientific approach to the solution of engineering problems. The program has design across the curriculum and is capped with an integrated design experience in the form of a senior project.

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering program shall produce graduates who:

  1. will be employed in industries, academia and state or federal government agencies;
  2. will advance their professional standing through graduate and/or professional degrees or lifelong learning; and
  3. will contribute to their profession and to society.

Electromechanical Engineering Concentration

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering with the optional concentration in Electromechanical Engineering (BSE-EME) integrates the tenets of Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering to provide an interdisciplinary professional career in this burgeoning area. The program offers a relevant, stimulating and effective course of undergraduate study to produce electromechanical engineers to meet the needs of the new century in robotics, process control and automation. The program emphasizes all aspects of electromagnetics, transducers, sensors, electronics, digital processing and mechanical principles to integrate these components into electromechanical devices and systems for automated manufacturing processes. Professional employment includes the analysis, design and installation of robotics and automation for diverse industries. The intent of the BSE-EME program is to provide better and more efficient electromechanical systems which will have a profound impact on the global society.
