Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Engineering Science
The Engineering Science major is a multidisciplinary honors program for engineering students who demonstrate superior academic potential or achievement. The program provides a broad foundation in the sciences and associated mathematics that underlie engineering, such as mechanics, materials, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics, wave phenomena, and computational analysis. Students obtain depth of knowledge through technical electives and a capstone research and design project (senior honors thesis).
The program is also highly flexible, providing an excellent opportunity for students interested in interdisciplinary training. Because of this flexibility, students can receive tailored, focused training in areas such as engineering mechanics, electrical science, solid state and materials science, computer science, and bioengineering, to name a few.
The Engineering Science major is designed both for students who plan to pursue graduate study and for those who seek a solid interdisciplinary foundation in engineering. It prepares students to cope with the complex, multi-faceted problems of technology in contemporary society.
Students may also receive minors in Engineering Mechanics and Nanotechnology offered by the engineering science and mechanics department as a focus area of study.
