Key Summary
Introduction
The first-year Engineering Design Division program integrates engineering fundamentals and engineering communications in a year-long program that includes three hands-on engineering projects in the Engineering Design and Engineering Communications courses.
The program is unique in its design to integrate the many components that ensure the success and employability of our students and gives individual attention to students through small classes and labs.
Students learn about the different engineering disciplines in Watson College through presentations by faculty from those departments. There are opportunities to meet with individual faculty as a student decides their engineering major.
Some lectures focusat on engineering fundamentals theory in support of engineering projects as well.
Students often meet with industrial leaders to talk about real-world applications and skills needed in today's workforce.
Scholarships and Funding
Students of exceptional achievement may be selected upon admission to Binghamton for one of three types of significant four-year scholarship commitments: President’s Scholarship, Provost’s Scholarship and Dean’s Scholarship. There is no application process; awards are competitive and vary in amount. Full-time enrollment and minimum grade-point-averages are required to maintain eligibility.
Curriculum
This curriculum is intended as a general engineering minor for students outside of engineering.
Declaring the minor is by application only; a minimum of five courses is required.
Students must complete the three prerequisite courses for the minor and achieve at least a 2.7 GPA in those three courses before applying to the program. To complete the minor, students must earn a GPA of at least 2.0 in the prerequisite and required courses.
Courses can be used to fulfill Gen Ed requirements.
Students will be advised by the Director of the Engineering Design Division.
