This cross-disciplinary program bridges engineering, science, business, and legal studies. While students can theoretically create study plans in virtually any engineering specialization, most typically focus on one of three primary areas: materials science and engineering, environmental & technological risk engineering, or information technology & engineering. Bioengineering, which explores the intersection of engineering and life sciences, is also gaining popularity among students.
The materials science & engineering track incorporates studies from mechanical, electrical, chemical, and civil engineering, along with computer science, chemistry, and physics. Environmental & technological risk engineering draws mainly from chemical and civil engineering plus environmental science, with additional elements from industrial, biological, and petroleum engineering, chemistry, business, and occasionally law. Information technology & engineering combines industrial, electrical, and mechanical engineering with computer science, information systems, decision science, library information systems, and related fields. Similarly, bioengineering integrates agricultural, civil, mechanical, chemical, and industrial engineering with chemistry and biological sciences.
The Engineering Science MS and PhD programs aim to achieve national recognition, drawing both talented students and research funding to the College of Engineering while producing graduates equipped to tackle cutting-edge challenges in information technology and related fields.
