Additional Curricular Information
The engineering curriculums for the remaining years of study provide foundational material in each of the disciplines. Many students complete their B.S. in engineering in four years, but some take five years to finish. Some students elect to take a double major, have extended internships or co-op experiences in industry, or study abroad. Each engineering discipline offers upper-level electives for students and all majors require the completion of a senior integrative project, an opportunity for students to apply what they have learned in the classroom. Some students take advantage of a challenging Honors Program (Commonwealth Honors College). If students are interested, there are many opportunities in undergraduate research and independent study. The research efforts of the faculty and their students are a very important part of the College of Engineering.
