工程科学学士学位

工程科学是物理科学和数学的研究和应用，以支持工程设计，研究和技术进步。它是当今快速发展的“高科技”行业研究与开发的核心，它为应对新兴需求（例如替代能源发电，超密集数据存储，基于纳米技术的应用）提供了必要的复杂设计流程。用于国土安全，环境清洁和可持续发展的传感器。为了使学生为在这些高科技领域的就业或在相关领域的研究生学习做好准备，工程科学专业既要足够透彻，以提供强大的背景知识，又要足够灵活，以应对多样化的学生需求和快速发展的工作场所。它提供了解决实际工程问题的动手方法，并为学生提供了使用最新工具探索技术创新
The Department of Materials Science and Chemical Engineering offers the Bachelor of Engineering degree program in Engineering Science and several interdisciplinary undergraduate programs in conjunction with other science and engineering departments on campus. These programs provide basic training for graduates to enter a wide range of industries or to proceed to graduate studies in engineering fields. They are aimed at the materials aspect of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, phy'sics, and chemistry. Engineering Science students can choose to specialize in biotechnology, mechanical and manufacturing engineering, electronics engineering, materials science and engineering, civil engineering, environmental engineering, nanoscale engineering, and engineering management. Reflecting the breadth and variety of topics falling within the domain of engineering science, the Department also offers seven minors that afford undergraduate students the opportunity to enhance their engineering or science studies with knowledge in a specific area. In addition to the minor in Materials Science and Engineering, the Department offers minors in Biomaterials, Energy Science, Technology and Policy, Manufacturing Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Nanotechnology Studies. Each is detailed under a separate heading in the alphabetical listings of Approved Majors, Minors, and Programs.<br><br>The program mission is aimed toward providing an engineering education which thoroughly covers fundamental aspects of engineering design, physical and chemical sciences, mathematics, and materials science and engineering, while also providing flexibility so that students can create a program tailored to their particular academic and career interests in a traditional or emerging discipline. The program is designed to provide core competency and skills in communication, design, and research while preparing students to participate in a rapidly evolving high-technology environment.
