Bachelor of Science in General Engineering – Overview
The General Engineering program offers students an interdisciplinary engineering education not generally available through conventional single discipline programs. This fast- paced, outcome-focused and competency-based curriculum provides a comprehensive program in basic engineering sciences, engineering management and entrepreneurship. It gives an opportunity to students to choose a technical cluster of their choice while receiving a strong foundation in entrepreneurial management. The combination of a sound theoretical background, the ability to apply such knowledge and management skills gives the graduate in general engineering a sound but flexible base for a career.
In addition to gaining a solid background in management, graduates are equipped with detailed technical knowledge in their field. They have the tools to innovate, lead, and strategically manage in an industry that increasingly rewards interdisciplinary expertise. The student can move into practice or advanced study in the engineering branch of their choice. With equal ease, the student can prepare for further study in management.
