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.

Energy and Power Engineering Concentration

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering with the optional concentration in Energy and Power Engineering integrates the tenets of Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering to provide a cross-disciplinary professional career in this burgeoning area. The program offers a relevant, stimulating, and effective course of undergraduate study to produce practicing power and energy engineers to meet the needs of the new century. The program emphasizes all aspects of electrical power and mechanical energy innovation in energy generation and delivery, alternative resources, and efficient devices. The program uses existing courses and laboratories in Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering to provides cross-disciplinary requisite courses for graduate education. Professional employment includes the control of large utility systems to energy harvesting devices for microsensors. Electrical energy continues to be the foundation of the modern economy. The growth of solar energy, wind energy, and other resources, combined with trends such as electric and hybrid vehicles, will have a profound impact on the global society.
