The Curriculum

The curricula of each of the six undergraduate degree programs are designed in both structure and content to build a strong foundation in engineering. The first year of study includes introductory engineering courses, mathematics, science, writing, and social world courses. This is followed by core courses in each of the disciplines. Students enter college with different perspectives about their education. Some are quite sure of the specific discipline they want to follow while others come to campus knowing they want to study engineering but have not made up their minds about which specific program to follow. The first year curriculum serves both groups of students and also offers possibilities for students who are not engineering majors but have interest in the field.
