Course: Engineering Science
On campus, biology is a separate department from chemistry, and physics is separate from computer science. But off campus, projects such as wildlife preservation draw on a combination of sciences.
Engineering science majors design their own programs, building a broad base of knowledge in math and science. Many go on to study subjects such as environmental engineering and nanotechnology, both of which require familiarity with a range of scientific concepts.
Engineering science majors use math and science principles from a wide range of disciplines to solve engineering problems.
Did You Know?
Nanotechnology, a new specialization in engineering science, is engineering at the molecular level.
