Program Description

The interdisciplinary B.Eng. program is designed with the engineering needs of regional industries as a primary focus; however, graduates of this program will also be well prepared for graduate school, professional schools (e.g., law or medicine), or an entrepreneurial career through selection of an appropriate combination of Engineering certificates. Individual certificates can be earned in the following specialization areas:

Biological Engineering: A captivating branch of the engineering field that combines engineering principles with biological processes with the goal of creating beneficial products. Because of the diversity of the field, bioengineers can work in environment mitigation, food production, genetic engineering, and more in the name of sustainability.
Chemical Engineering: As a multifaceted discipline primarily involving the design of processes necessary to produce, alter, and transport various chemicals, graduates with this certificate are prepared for careers in traditional manufacturing environments as well as petrochemical, agricultural, environmental, pharmaceutical, and automotive industries.
Engineering Management: A specialized interdisciplinary that applies engineering techniques to business systems and processes used to bring engineering solutions from idea to implementation. Balancing technical ideas with organizational and financial functions, engineering management aims to efficiently and effectively plan and implement complex solutions.
Manufacturing Engineering: Concerned with the development, operation, and improvement of tools, processes, integration facilities, and systems that ensure the efficient and safe manufacture of quality products. Manufacturing engineers work within an industrial organization to design, evaluate, monitor, and improve both short- and long-term operational outcomes.
Power Generation Engineering: Centered on the planning, creation, and improvement of energy-producing systems. In order to produce electricity effectively and sustainably, it entails applying engineering principles and technology to harness a variety of energy sources, including nuclear energy, renewable resources, and fossil fuels.
