About the Program

The School of Applied Engineering & Technology’s (SAET’s) General Engineering undergraduate program provides students with an opportunity for multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary study. The program provides breadth in a range of engineering, science and mathematics courses while providing flexibility to develop depth in specialized areas. A degree in General Engineering is structured to address the rapidly changing needs of the engineering and science fields. This program is informed by the needs of industry, education, and government organizations.

Graduates of the General Engineering B.S. program will:

1. Advance in diverse positions and career paths requiring collaboration, communication, problem solving, design, analysis, and development.
    
2. Use their multi-disciplinary knowledge to develop customized industry and business solutions informed by diverse global and societal needs.
    
3. Continue to take advantage of opportunities for life-long learning and professional development to further their careers.
    

Students work closely with their academic adviser to select an existing concentration or develop a custom plan of study to meet their interests and the program graduation requirements.

Students from the General Engineering program will attain (by the time of graduation):

1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. 
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
