BA/BS in Engineering Mechanics

Engineering science and mechanics draws on basic scientific principles to find engineering answers to present-day questions in physical science and life science. The page describes the typical student as someone curious about why and how engineering works, and not only what it produces. Classes are small and take place in well-equipped laboratories, where students work in groups. Electives let them concentrate on topics such as biological mechanics, new sources of energy, and advanced materials including nanotechnology. The major is part of the College of Engineering and is listed with master's and doctoral degrees in the same field. The page links to the undergraduate catalog and the transfer guide for students who want to plan their course of study. Prospective students can review the program's advising information for guidance on planning their studies.
