General Engineering Degree ProgramsThe School of Engineering, under the direction of the Office of the Dean, offers the Bachelor of Science degree with both a major and a minor in general engineering. The bachelor's degree in general engineering is designed to provide students with a less specialized, technical degree with concentrations designed to meet the needs of the individual student. This course of study allows students to pursue an engineering degree while preparing for work or graduate study in fields such as law, medicine, business, or education. A concentration in bioengineering is a popular choice for general engineering majors. This concentration focuses on the application of electrical, chemical, mechanical, and other engineering priciples to understand, modify, or control biological systems. The goal of the multidisciplinary bioengineering program is to educate students to solve problems at the interface of engineering and the life sciences. Career paths for students with a concentration in bioengineering include the medical-device and biotechnology industries, biomedical research, and graduate study in bioengineering, science, or medicine. |
