When you complete the Dual-Degree Program, you will receive the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) degree, which includes fulfilling a disciplinary concentration in an area of study. Common areas of study include, but are not limited to:
In the first year of the Dual-Degree Program, you fulfill core requirements (ENGS 21–23) and take prerequisites for your potential concentrations, usually from ENGS 24–37. You'll take two engineering courses and one additional course each term. It is strongly recommended that the third course not be in engineering or science, particularly in the first term.
Students are advised to plan their first-year programs in light of their plans for the second year, to make sure that all necessary prerequisites are taken before the advanced courses. We recommend that you:
The following courses are required in all programs: ENGS 21, 22, 23; two from ENGS 24–28; two from ENGS 30–37; one of ENGS 91–93; and ENGS 89–90. The remaining courses are selected to fulfill the total course count and tailor the program to your professional interests.
Appropriate 20- and 30-level courses for particular disciplines are listed below, along with the terms in which they are offered. A pre-approved junior-level physics course in electromagnetism from the home institution may be allowed in place of the core course ENGS 23, permitting another ENGS elective to be taken in its place.
Note: The terms listed below are when courses are typically offered and are subject to change.
| COURSE | TERMS OFFERED | ENGINEERING AREAS |
|---|---|---|
| ENGS 21: Intro to Engineering | X, F, W, S | All |
| ENGS 22: Systems | X, F, W, S | All |
| ENGS 23: Distributed Systems and Fields | F, W, S | All |
| ENGS 24: Materials Science (CHE or QM) | X, W, S | ME, EE, ENRG, BME, CHE, MAT |
| ENGS 25: Thermodynamics | X, W, S | CHE, ENV, EE, ENRG, MAT, BME |
| ENGS 26: Feedback Control | F, S | EE, COMP, ME, CHE, BME |
| ENGS 27: Discrete & Probabilistic Systems | X, F | COMP, EE |
| ENGS 28: Embedded Systems | W | COMP, EE, ME |
| ENGS 30: Biological Physics (CHE) | S | BIO, BME |
| ENGS 31: Digital Electronics (CS) | X, S | EE, COMP |
| ENGS 32: Analog Electronics | F, W | EE, ENRG, COMP, ME, BME |
| ENGS 33: Solid Mechanics | X, F, W | ENRG, ME, MAT, BME |
| ENGS 34: Fluid Mechanics | S | ENRG, ME, CHE, ENV |
| ENGS 35: Biotechnology (CHE, BIO) | F | BIO, BME, CHE, ENV |
| ENGS 36: Chemical Engineering | F | CHE, ENRG, ENV, BIO |
| ENGS 37: Environmental Engineering (CHE) | F | ENRG, ENV, CHE |
Below are these same ENGS courses organized by term offered. (Consult the course listings for schedules.)
* ENGS 32 is only offered in fall and winter, so potential electrical engineering concentrators must be sure to take the prerequisite, ENGS 22, in the summer or fall terms.
** ENGS 33 is not offered in the spring, so potential mechanical engineering concentrators must take it in the summer, fall, or winter terms.
In the fifth BE year, you'll take three courses in each of the three terms. A few of these are fixed, and the rest are elective to build a disciplinary concentration. An applied math course, chosen from ENGS 91–93, is required for the BE. All three are offered in the fall, and additionally, a section of ENGS 93: Statistics is offered in the winter term.
Up to 11 courses in math, natural science, and computer science, including the program prerequisites (calculus, physics, chemistry, and computer science), may be brought from the home college into the BE program.
