THE CURRICULUM

It’s designed to make you an exceptionally skilled, totally adaptable engineer, grounded in fundamental principles and sensitive to human needs. It’s a general engineering curriculum; majors can emphasize a specialty by choosing their electives and their Clinic carefully, but the idea is that the best undergraduate engineering education develops people who can do mean- ingful work in any field. So the curriculum is divided into three branches—applied science, systems, and design and professional practice —each offering rigorous analysis of theoretical principles and intensive hands-on experience. Courses in applied science establish a broad base of fundamental knowledge in the field; courses in systems offer a unified approach to engineering and practice in modeling, design- ing, and interpretation of engineering systems; and courses in design and professional practice allow students to work in teams, solving open- ended, externally-driven design projects–a pro- cess that culminates in a required three-semes- ter Clinic experience. Our Bachelor of Science degree is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.

THE PROGRAM

A broad-based, hands-on experience in engineering analysis, synthesis and practice. We prepare stu- dents for professional practice, for advanced study in a specific engineering discipline and for a lifetime of independent learning. Our graduates are fully aware of the impact of their work on society, nation- ally and globally. We intentionally offer a general en- gineering program that focuses on the fundamentals and the problem solving of engineering. Why? Contemporary and evolving issues

won’t confine themselves to a single discipline. The broad curriculum and live projects like those in Clinic ensure our graduates have the confidence and skills to solve any number of challenges, no matter what com- plicated, messy, multidisciplinary problems the future holds.
