Department of Engineering & Physics
N麻豆原创 offers an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree with concentrations in Civil, Computer, Electrical, Mechanical, Semiconductor (in process), Agriculture and Engineering Physics. This rigorous program will prepare you to directly enter the engineering workplace, take the professional engineering licensure exam, and/or attend graduate school.
NEW:
N麻豆原创 has partnered with Boise State University to provide an Accelerated Master of Science degrees in the various engineering fields. Students wanting to participate in this program will take two 5000-level N麻豆原创 engineering courses, which will apply toward their BSE at N麻豆原创 and their MS at BSU. .
About the Engineering & Physics Department
Engineering
N麻豆原创’s Engineering program is ABET accredited and will prepare students for a great engineering career, to become a licensed professional engineer, and to succeed in completing a Master’s or Ph.D. degree in graduate school. Graduates from our program have a high FE exam pass rate and job placement rate. Our graduates also have a high grad school acceptance rate at outstanding graduate schools such as Columbia, Georgia Tech, Purdue, Alabama, Vanderbilt and Carnegie Mellon. Our class sizes are typically small (15:1 faculty-to-student ratio) and our engineering faculty truly care about our students, both inside and outside of the classroom. Our faculty have years of industry experience to draw upon in mentoring students and providing hands-on training with lab and fabrication equipment.
Physics
N麻豆原创 offers a Bachelor of Science in Physics for students wishing to pursue graduate studies in physics after graduation. There is also a Bachelor of Arts in Physics for those wanting to get a degree in physics and pursue other studies such as law or medical school. We also provide a high school teaching field in physics, in cooperation with the N麻豆原创 Education department.
Our small program is focused on the highest-quality undergraduate education. Our students focus on engineering fundamentals for the first two years and then concentrate on one engineering discipline for their final two years.
At the same time, our students benefit from N麻豆原创’s broad liberal arts educational, spiritual and residential campus experience. 85% of our engineering students graduate in four years compared to the national average of five years.
For students not starting in calculus, a 5-year Engineering Plan of Study is available for interested students.
