Bachelor of Science Degree in Engineering

The Engineering major is a practical program designed to lead to a technical career in industry or graduate school in engineering. Our engineering program is designed to prepare graduates who will: 1) develop successful careers relating to the design, development and/or implementation of complex devices and systems within fields integrating electrical, mechanical and modern physics aspects; 2) meet the demands and challenges of the rapidly changing world and the global marketplace, researching and developing novel technologies to solve the problems and address market forces in society; 3) continue to develop their technical and professional skills throughout their careers; 4) display unwavering high ethical standards; and 5) contribute to the needs of, and in other ways enhance, their local communities and the world at large. Engineering majors are required to take Physics 200, 201, 202 and 302; Mathematics 121, 122, 201, 222 and 321; Engineering 100, 110, 210, 262, 263, 291, 310, 391, 395, 396, 400, 410-410L, 491 and 492; Computer Science 121; Chemistry 105; Earth Science 275; and Philosophy 255 (A,C or D). Engineering majors may substitute Physics 200 for one of their Natural and Physical Science Core courses. Students who successfully complete the requirements for the Engineering major will have their Humanities Core requirement waived, and they may take up to 19 credits in up to three semesters at Elizabethtown without paying a credit overload fee.

Engineering majors also must select one of the following concentrations and complete the additional courses as noted:

         Mechanical Engineering: Engineering 264, 321, 365 and 463.

         Electrical Engineering: Engineering 220, 315, 351 and 352.

         Applied Physics: Engineering 351 and 463; Physics 353 and 361.
