The degree program provides a pathway through engineering for students interested in interdisciplinary, hands-on engineering design by coupling a disciplinary engineering emphasis with a concentration of the students' choice within, or external to, engineering.
Students complete core engineering and design coursework, followed by coursework in their chosen engineering emphasis (i.e., Aerospace, Architectural, Civil, Electrical, Environmental, or Mechanical engineering).? Students also choose a concentration area, such as Entrepreneurship, CU Teach Engineering (i.e., secondary math or science teaching), Business, Sustainability , Pre-Medical, and many others. Graduates from the Engineering Plus program will find opportunities in many engineering enterprises, as well as unique positions enabled by their engineering emphasis and concentration choices.
Engineering Plus prepares its graduates to make significant contributions in many diverse areas. Specifically, within five years of graduation our graduates will have achieved one or more of the following attributes:
- established themselves as excellent secondary science or math teachers, utilizing hands-on engineering design content in their curriculum;
- established themselves in professional careers, received a graduate or professional degree, or be enrolled in a graduate or professional degree program;
- played significant roles in an engineering or technical enterprise, including research and development of engineering systems and products, technical sales, technical training, and organizational education;
