The Engineering Science Major
| The engineering science curriculum is rooted in mechanical engineering and engineering design. The major requires an industrial co-op. The program bridges the liberal arts and engineering by emphasizing not only the key technical aspects of engineering, but also the vital benefits engineering has for society.
