Engineering - General Engineering
概述
The General Engineering degree is an 跨学科 program, combining many of the skill sets learned in both Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. The courses in the first three semesters of the General Engineering program are identical to the courses in both the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering programs.
Starting the first semester, you'll practice critical engineering skills like problem-solving, 创意设计, 和团队合作. Following the third semester, you can select courses that best meet your interests from a pool of available engineering-related courses. This flexibility allows you to customize your degree to better fit your interests or career goals.
We recognize the value diversity of thought, 的角度来看, and experience can bring to our programs and the field of engineering and look to nurture that in this innovative program. Upper-level courses emphasize hands-on learning through laboratory work and projects, culminating in a capstone course where you solve real-world problems.
As a graduates of the General Engineering program, you will be prepared to face a wide range of engineering challenges, pursue graduate studies, or enter the workforce with a versatile engineering background.
You will also be able to join campus chapters of engineering professional organizations such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Society of Women Engineers, National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), Society for Hispanic Professional Engineers, and Engineering Without Boarders (EMB) among others. These organizations allow you to meet new people, build a network of support, 团队合作, and participate in regional and national competitions.
