The first two years provide a solid base in mathematics, science, engineering sciences, communication, and in the humanities and social sciences. Students who are not sure about a major can enroll in the general engineering program to learn about majors and the profession. After completing the second year, students apply to the professional program to complete their degree. Admission may be competitive when the number of applicants exceeds capacities. Chemical engineers develop, design, and operate innovative chemical processes that improve quality of life while protecting our environment.
Civil engineering involves planning, design, and construction of facilities.
Preparation for land surveying is done through civil engineering. Computer engineering is preparation for careers involving computer operations, data management, and computer hardware design. Computer science is the study of programs, data, computing machinery, and people and how they interact. Construction engineering management applies engineering and construction knowledge, along with sound business practices, to major engineering projects. Electrical and electronics engineering includes communications systems, computer applications, semiconductor materials fabrication, microelectronics, and energy conversion.
