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.
