The curricula in the engineering sciences have been designed
to prepare a student to fill the gap between the pure and
applied sciences. The programs have been planned to enable
the graduate to meet, work, and communicate with scientists
and engineers at all levels of research and development, design
and production, sales and distribution and to participate
in the rapid and efficient translation of the latest scientific
discoveries into technological achievements.
The general curriculum outlined below has been developed
to give the student a firm foundation in the engineering sciences
supported by a thorough grounding and facility in mathematics,
physics and chemistry. In addition, each student will choose
an area of specialization in at least one of the Engineering
fields of architectural, civil, biomedical, electrical, industrial,
or mechanical, and mathematics, chemistry or physics. By being
well grounded in both the basic and applied sciences, the
student, upon graduation, will be well prepared to assume
responsibilities in his/her field of specialization or continue
his/her professional development through graduate studies.
The engineering science program is intended primarily for
students who expect to pursue graduate studies, and it will
not satisfy the licensure requirements for professional engineering
registration.
Premedical Studies: When BIL 150 and 160 are added to the
course sequence for engineering science, basic premedical
requirements are satisfied. Additional specific courses, such
as genetics or biochemistry, may be required for admission
to certain medical schools. For optimum timing and course
selection students who combine premedical studies and engineering
science should consult the faculty advisor for engineering
science and the Coordinator, Committee on Premedical Studies.
Because of the nature of the curriculum and its goals, the
student must maintain a B average. The degree of Bachelor
of Science Engineering Science is awarded upon successful
completion of the program.
The required curriculum for the degree of Bachelor of Science
in Engineering Science (General Concentration) is shown below
as is a typical premed curriculum. A Professional Chemistry
Concentration in the Engineering Science Program is available
(the Professional Chemistry Program, approved by the American
Chemical Society, is also available in the College of Arts
and Sciences).
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Engineering Science program is to provide
excellent undergraduate and graduate education in engineering
that will prepare graduates to meet Societies changing needs
and aspirations.
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:
The objectives of the Engineering Science program are to
educate engineers who:
• have a sound background in the fundamentals of
engineering science grounded in mathematics, physics and
chemistry
• have abilities and knowledge expected by graduate
programs
• are prepared to enter graduate programs with a
strong background in pure science
DEGREE PROGRAMS
ENGINEERING SCIENCE CURRICULUM (General Concentration) -
123-124 credits
* People and Society (PS)/Humanities and Arts (HA) Electives
are selected from the appropriate table found in this Bulletin
in the College of Engineering section.
** Technical Electives are advanced courses in mathematics,
science or engineering, approved by the Faculty Advisor, as
appropriate for individual objectives. The Department recommends
that students take Engineering Administration (MAE 410) as
a possible technical elective. It is a part of the professional
registration examinations, and professional registration,
a desirable qualification for all engineers, is essential
for those in consulting work and those employed by large utilities.
*** Applied electives are advanced courses selected in coordination
with the Faculty Advisor and require his/her approval.
ENGINEERING SCIENCE (Premed Concentration)
- 124 credits
* People and Society (PS)/Humanities and Arts (HA) Electives
(to be selected from the appropriate table found in this Bulletin
in the College of Engineering section).
** Electives are advanced courses selected in coordination
with the Faculty Advisor and require his/her approval.
