| Engineering Science Program Description |
| The Engineering Science (EngSci) major is designed to prepare students for careers in today’s technology, engineering, or research fields. It is a fully interdisciplinary program with a design emphasis, focusing on broad skills-based preparation for science and engineering-related work. The curriculum is built around a 32-credit core, which covers fundamentals of physics, math, chemistry, and programming, as is typical for pre-engineering programs. Courses are designed specifically to emphasize applications and real-world problem-solving. Students then specialize by choosing from among three tracks of 12 credits each, in which they deepen their knowledge base in one of three science disciplines (Environmental Science, Chemistry, or Physics). As a senior capstone experience, all students will complete a collaborative design project. The proposed program will be offered in place of the existing Physics major. |
