We work real-life problems in physics, and I try to engage students. It s not unusual for the class to cheer when they solve a problem. That s exciting. Your major courses develop technical depth. For example, our engineering major gives you a chance to develop a specialty in civil, electrical, environmental, or mechanical engineering.
Chemical engineering does the same by stressing chemical engineering fundamentals and applications.
In most departments, you can also develop an area of special interest outside your major. The design course sequence continues in the junior year, and in most majors, ends in the senior year with a capstone design course.
