Engineering (BE)

Description

For students with special career plans that cannot be accommodated by the standard Engineering programs, the College offers the Bachelor of Engineering degree. In this program, students indicate a concentration and take a sequence of courses designated to their area of concentration. This is not an ABET accredited program, though it is accredited though the Higher Learning Commission. It is not intended for students planning on being licensed Engineers in the U.S. The course requirements include a minimum of 126 credits.

    Pre-Med/Pre-Dent Concentrations

    Students interested in Engineering as a major in preparation for Medical or Dental school will complete coursework with either a Mechanical, Environmental, or Electrical Engineering focus in addition to the natural and social science courses needed to prepare for these professional schools. Students must also complete the University Core Curriculum courses for the College of Engineering & Science.

    Science Courses

    Students should carefully review the course requirements for the particular medical or dental schools they are interested in attending. Additional courses may be required (such as PYC 1000 Intro to Psychology, SOC 1000 Intro to Sociology, BIO 4210 Microbiology, etc.) Students should plan to take the MCAT no later than June of their junior year. A letter of recommendation from the Pre-Med/Pre-Dent evaluation committee should be solicited before then.

    Environmental Engineering Concentration

    This concentration is intended for international students in exchange programs with 91传媒. Environmental engineers use the principles of biology and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental problems. They are involved in water and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, and public health issues. Environmental engineers conduct hazardous-waste management studies in which they evaluate the significance of the hazard, advise on its treatment and containment, and develop regulations to prevent mishaps. They design municipal water supply and industrial wastewater treatment systems, conduct research on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects, analyze scientific data, and perform quality-control checks. Environmental engineers are concerned with local and worldwide environmental issues. Some may study and attempt to minimize the effects of acid rain, global warming, automobile emissions, and ozone depletion. They also may be involved in the protection of wildlife. Many environmental engineers work as consultants, helping their clients to comply with regulations, prevent environmental damage, and clean up hazardous sites.

    The Environmental Engineering Concentration has the following objectives:

    1. Graduates of our program should work as practicing engineers/professionals.
    2. Graduates of our program should create practical engineering designs, solutions or research that is sensitive to economics, social context, community needs, and address environmental, public safety and sustainability concerns.
    3. Graduates of our program should actively participate and seek leadership positions in professional societies, other worthy organizations and their workplaces.
    4. The program at 91传媒 focuses on two predominant areas of Environmental Engineering: water and land.  All students take courses in both the water and land areas.

    The 91传媒 Bachelor of Engineering with a Robotics and Mechatronic Systems Engineering (RMSE) Concentration program is only available to specific international cohort program students (e.g. Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) as it is currently structured. Similar programs with other international entities are possible.

    91传媒 Entry Requirements:

    91传媒 and specific international schools have jointly developed contractual entry requirements based on student grades and prerequisites for the Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science (ECECS) Department’s Bachelor of Engineering, major in engineering, with a concentration in Robotics and Mechatronic Systems Engineering cohort-based program. Contractual details are available from the College’s Director of International Programs or the Dean’s office.  Students are either directly or conditionally admitted based on their records.

    Note that contract requirements may change depending on 91传媒 regulations and USA government visa regulations.  Transcripts are evaluated and admission decisions are rendered by the ECECS Department Chairperson and the RMSEw/EE Program Director.  

    Course List:

    The courses that will be taken at 91传媒 for the joint BUCT/91传媒 RMSE program are listed below.

    Delivery Format:

    All courses are existing courses that are face to face Lecture and/or Laboratory format. This format will continue for the foreseeable future.

    Learning Outcomes and Assessment:

    The required courses for the BUCT BEN_RMSE program consist of classes taken at BUCT as well as courses taken at 91传媒.  They comprise courses selected from the 91传媒 RMSEw/EE program concentration.  As such, the courses are regularly assessed with outcome worksheets generated by the faculty and reviewed by faculty committee and the ECECS Department Industrial Advisory Board (IAB).
