Engineering, Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
Bachelor of Science in Engineering
Program Description:
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Engineering prepares graduates to become practicing engineers equipped with the fundamental knowledge and skills to address complex challenges across a range of engineering applications. The program emphasizes the application of engineering principles, science, and mathematics to effectively identify, formulate, and solve problems. Students develop the ability to apply engineering design processes to produce innovative solutions and systems that meet specified needs, always considering public health, safety, and welfare, alongside broader global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
Our curriculum fosters core technical competencies, promotes the lifelong learning essential for adapting to evolving technological landscapes, and cultivates the ethical and professional responsibilities expected within the engineering profession. Graduates are prepared to contribute meaningfully to their profession and communities through effective communication, collaborative teamwork, and a commitment to ethical practice. The program integrates theoretical knowledge with practical application, preparing graduates to analyze, design, and improve processes and systems effectively. Students will have opportunities to focus their studies in specific areas of engineering practice through elective coursework.
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs):
Within a few years of graduation, graduates of the B.S. in Engineering program are expected to:
- Be established practitioners who demonstrate technical independence and assume increasing levels of responsibility in engineering projects within their respective industries.
- Have advanced in their careers through continuous learning and successful adaptation to evolving engineering challenges.
- Be contributing effectively and ethically to the engineering profession and their communities.
Student Outcomes (SOs):
Upon graduation, students in the B.S. in Engineering program will have demonstrated:
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
- An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
- An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
- An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
- An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
- An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
- An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
