About
Academics
As a community of engineering scholars within a large and diverse urban research university, College of Engineering students have close contact with faculty members and their fellow students, while enjoying a wide array of opportunities for intellectual and personal growth.
The College of Engineering offers Bachelor of Science degrees in Aerospace, Biomedical, Computer Systems, Electrical, Manufacturing and Mechanical engineering*. The curriculum is structured to ensure that students not only master the technical aspects of engineering, but also emerge well rounded and able to meet the demands of leadership in the global economy. In addition to rigorous engineering coursework, students have the opportunity to study social sciences, humanities, mathematics and the natural sciences. Study-abroad programs offer a valuable international perspective, and the College works hard to match students with internships and co-op placements during the undergraduate years, and with jobs at graduation.
Graduate students work at the frontier of knowledge, guided by faculty who are distinguished in their disciplines. The College of Engineering's focus on interdisciplinary research means graduate students will gain exposure to other engineering fields and give themselves a distinct advantage in the integrated-technology world of the 21st century.
The College of Engineering offers Master of Science degrees in Biomedical, Computer Systems, Electrical, Manufacturing, Mechanical, and Photonics engineering. Doctor of Philosophy degrees are offered in Aerospace, Biomedical, Computer, Electrical, Manufacturing, Mechanical and Systems engineering*. Dual degree programs that combine engineering with medicine or business are available, as is a master's degree for students without academic backgrounds in engineering.
*Effective in 2008, Aerospace Engineering degree programs will no longer be available to new graduate students. Effective in fall 2009, bachelor's degree programs in Aerospace Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering will no longer be available to new undergraduates, although students will have the option of adding either as a concentration to a Mechanical Engineering degree.
