The curriculum in applied sciences in engineering is intended to meet
the needs of students whose goals might not be served by the
professional engineering programs. The curriculum permits the
development of a wide range of interdisciplinary programs individually
tailored to the needs of the student outside the accredited or
professional engineering fields. A faculty committee advises each
student in the preparation of a sound educational program from courses
available in the regular engineering programs. The applied sciences
in engineering curriculum is not accredited as a professional
engineering program.
Courses are not offered specifically for
this curriculum, but must be chosen from among those scheduled by
the professional engineering programs. Several areas of specialization
currently are available, such as packaging engineering, engineering
physics, and preparatory programs for law school or medical school.
