What you'll study in a Engineering program

  • Calculus I–III, differential equations, linear algebra
  • Physics (mechanics, electromagnetism)
  • Engineering statics, dynamics, materials
  • Discipline-specific core (e.g., circuits for EE, thermo for ME)
  • Engineering design process and project management
  • CAD, simulation, and lab techniques
  • Engineering ethics and professional practice
  • Senior capstone design project (often industry-sponsored)

Where a Engineering degree can lead

  • Mechanical Engineer
  • Electrical Engineer
  • Civil Engineer
  • Chemical Engineer
  • Biomedical Engineer
  • Industrial Engineer

Typical pay: $73,000–$110,000 early-career (varies widely by discipline; BLS, 2024 mechanical engineers median $102,320)

Engineering is an umbrella term for ABET-accredited programs in mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, biomedical, aerospace, industrial, and computer engineering. Every engineering BS includes 3–4 semesters of calculus, differential equations, and physics, plus a discipline-specific sequence (thermodynamics, circuits, statics, fluid mechanics, etc.) and a senior capstone design project.

Engineering programs are credit-heavy, usually 128+ credits versus 120 for a BA, and many require a Fundamentals of Engineering exam pass for licensure tracks. Graduates can pursue a Professional Engineer (PE) license after 4 years of supervised work.
