The College of Engineering also offers curricula leading to Bachelor of Science Degrees in the following fields: |
|
Interdisciplinary Areas of Study Interdisciplinary areas of study, areas of specialization within departments, and study in two entirely different areas are available through options, concentrations and dual degree programs. The Biomedical Engineering Honors program in Engineering and Medicine is offered through the Engineering Science Program. The Honor program in Engineering and Medicine provides admission to both College of Engineering and the School of Medicine. The programs in Architectural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). |

Graduate Programs
The College offers graduate programs leading to degrees both in the traditional and interdisciplinary areas of study. Programs leading to the M.S. degree may include specialization in the following areas of study: Architectural Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Structural Engineering, Transportation Engineering, and Thermal and fluid Science. A joint M.S.I.E./M.B.A. program and a M.S. program in Management of Technology are offered jointly with the Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering Industrial Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Graduates of the CIM Program will receive a Master of Science Degree in their chosen field and a certificate from the College of Engineering, which documents a concentration in the CIM area. |
|
The Doctor of Philosophy Degree The Doctor of Philosophy Degree is currently offered in the area of Biomedical Engineering Civil Engineering Electrical and Computer Engineering Ergonomics, Industrial Engineering and Mechanical Engineering and students interested in these areas can take secondary concentrations in Ocean Engineering. The Ph.D. programs in Interdepartmental Graduate Studies permit, with approval of the Graduate Council, highly qualified students to pursue a privileged individualized program which cuts across disciplinary lines. |

Closing Statement about the College The College of Engineering is primarily housed in the J. Neville McArthur Building. Completed in 1959 and renovated in 1984, this attractive building is the gift of the late J. Neville McArthur, who was a member of the Board of Trustees and a prominent citizen and dairyman. The recently completed Engineering Annex is also a gift of the McArthur family. The College places great emphasis on providing students with a learning experience, which will enable them to develop productive careers while creating engineering solutions to problems of our society. Learning is centered around real life experiences which involve an understanding of science, mathematics, social values, and aesthetics to produce economical solutions to physical problems which society encounters. Protection and enhancement of the environment is stressed at all levels, and emphasis is placed on the creative application of knowledge, which will improve the quality of life. |
