BSE Engineering

The BSE program in engineering prepares graduates to collaborate across disciplines to design and build solutions to real-world problems.

In the Bachelor of Science in Engineering program, students apply engineering fundamental knowledge and design thinking to real projects every semester. They choose a disciplinary concentration that enables them to develop in-depth knowledge in a specific area, and they choose a secondary focus area. This flexibility allows students to tailor their degree in a way that will help them achieve their individual career and life goals. The program enables students to develop sophisticated technical skills in tandem with the professional skills of communication, teamwork, collaboration, self-motivation, and adaptability, and the program's emphasis on open-ended design and project-based learning supports the development of entrepreneurial skills and attitudes.

Students can choose from the following concentrations: automotive systems, electrical systems, mechanical engineering systems, and robotics.

Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET; under the General Criteria and the Engineering, General Engineering, Engineering Physics, and Engineering Science Program Criteria.
