Note: This program is not accepting applications for the 2023-2024 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:
- will be employed in industries, academia and state or federal government agencies;
- will advance their professional standing through graduate and/or professional degrees or lifelong learning; and
- will contribute to their profession and to society.

Summary of Requirements
University Requirements
All new students are required to complete the university's General Education (GenEd) curriculum.
All Temple students must take a minimum of two writing-intensive courses for a total of at least six credits. The writing-intensive course credits are counted as part of the major; they are not General Education (GenEd) or elective credits. The writing-intensive courses must be completed at Temple University and students may not transfer in credits to satisfy this requirement. The specific writing-intensive courses required for this major are:
