Degrees Offered

Undergraduate Degree Programs

The College of Engineering offers the following Bachelor of Science degree programs

* Programs with three semesters of integrated co-operative (co-op) education as a required component of the curriculum. See the section on Co-operative Education below for more details.

Certificate and Minor Programs

The College of Engineering also offers specialized certificates and minor programs that can be taken in conjunction with a primary degree program.

Students may wish to consider a dual degree plan within the College of Engineering to earn two bachelor's degrees simultaneously. Depending on which two curricula are involved, careful planning from the beginning may permit the completion of both degrees with less than a full year of additional study. In any dual degree plan, the student must be accepted by both major departments and have an advisor from each of the two degree programs. With any combination, the curricular requirements of each individual degree must be met.

Cooperative (Co-op) Education Program

Students in the bachelor's degree programs with integrated co-operative education must successfully complete the cooperative (co-op) education requirement. The purpose of the co-op program is to provide students with career-related experiences. The program also helps students defray the cost of their education and enhances employment opportunities after graduation. The programs with required co-op is set up to accommodate four, and in some cases five, co-op assignments. To satisfy the requirement, a student must successfully complete a minimum of three registered, semester-long work experiences, alternating with semesters of coursework. The student pays a $475 fee when registered for each of the required co-op experiences. Successful completion of each registered work experience appears on the student’s transcript. A student with a registered work experience is considered a full time student for that term.

The College will assist students in finding co-op positions, but does not guarantee placement. Elaborations on implementation policies are available in the College’s Career Development Center. For students in the Engineering Technology degree programs, participation in the co-op program is optional. Students in programs with optional co-op who wish to participate in this program should contact the Shah Center for Engineering Career Development at 419.530.8050.
