Engineering Science Comprehensive, B.S.


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Colleges/Departments/Programs

The Engineering Science degree program is designed to provide students with exposure to subjects that form the rudiments of engineering and the applied sciences.  This interdisciplinary degree program includes subject areas in applied mathematics: linear algebra, operations research, and numerical analysis.  An integral part of the program covers core topics in engineering and physics:  digital and analog electronics, thermodynamics, linear systems, electromagnetic fields, statics and dynamics, all of which are built on advanced concepts.  The comprehensive undergraduate major also encompasses computer engineering, environmental engineering, and computer science topics to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to tackle challenges and preserve the well-being of our society.

Curriculum for a Comprehensive Major in Engineering Science


Students in the program must select one of two areas of concentration: Environmental Engineering or Systems Engineering. Students must satisfy requirements for their selected concentration, for the Engineering Science core, and for the Shepherd University Core Curriculum.

Environmental Engineering Concentration, 50 Hours


The Environmental Engineering concentration is designed to prepare the student for a future in application of engineering technology to environmental issues and problems. The need for trained environmental engineers is illustrated through the numerous employment opportunities available for individuals trained in this field in industry, at state and federal agencies, and with environmental consulting firms.

Systems Engineering Concentration, 56 Hours


Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary approach in understanding technical aspects in engineering process and design. Systems Engineering is a key component in systems implementation and management that enables the realization of successful systems. Improving business strategies of integrated systems requires solid foundations in mathematical tools, computer modeling and networking, and operations research.

Economics Requirement, 3 Hours
