Explore conventional and dual-degree engineering paths designed to prepare students for industry and advanced studies.
A four-year Bachelor of Science in Engineering (ENGNR.BS) provides a broad foundation for aspiring engineers. The curriculum emphasizes basic concepts and offers practical,community-focused application opportunities. The program aims to develop well-rounded graduates ready for careers or specialized graduate studies.
For students seeking specialized engineering degrees, a 3+2 dual-degree partnership exists with the university of Tennessee Chattanooga and Tennessee Technological University (TTU). This allows students to spend three years building a foundational understanding before transitioning to partner institutions to complete discipline-specific engineering degrees, ultimately earning a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Science (EGRSC.BS) along the way.
The initial two years of both degree paths are aligned, allowing students to defer the choice between the traditional and dual-degree options until their junior year.
Curriculum Overview
The engineering coursework covers fundamental engineering concepts, providing opportunities for students to utilize their learning in service to their community. The goal of this program is to produce well-rounded engineering students that are prepared for industry or graduate studies in specialized fields of engineering.

Dual Degree Partnerships
The 3+2 program allows students seeking a specialized degree in engineering to still gain a broad foundation. After completing coursework,students transfer to partnering institutions to complete their discipline-specific engineering degree while also obtaining an Engineering Science degree.
