The General Engineering major is designed for students with diverse technical interests or those seeking to complement their engineering foundation with non-technical fields like business, psychology, history, or art. For instance, selecting this major could be ideal if you aim to blend fundamental engineering with coursework in both chemical and electrical engineering without pursuing a dual major. Another motivation might be combining core engineering studies with business classes. Please note that this program is not ABET accredited.
Students learn to identify, formulate, and resolve complex engineering challenges using engineering, scientific, and mathematical principles. They employ engineering design to develop solutions that address specific requirements while accounting for public health, safety, welfare, and global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic considerations. Effective communication with varied audiences is emphasized. Students also understand ethical and professional duties in engineering contexts, making well-informed decisions that evaluate the effects of engineering outcomes on global, economic, environmental, and societal scales.
