Four-year undergraduate curricula leading to the degree of bachelor of science are offered in the fields of bioenvironmental engineering, biomedical engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical and computer engineering, industrial engineering, materials science and engineering, and mechanical engineering. These curricula are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
In addition, a flexible four-year curriculum in applied sciences in engineering is administered by an interdepartmental committee. Numerous areas of concentration are available within these disciplines, such as aerospace engineering, biochemical engineering, biomechanical engineering, communications, computer engineering, electronics, engineering physics, environmental engineering, materials engineering, and packaging engineering. The field of applied sciences in engineering is not a professional engineering curriculum and is not subject to ABET accreditation.
A five-year, dual-degree program is offered by the School of Engineering in cooperation with the School of Arts and Sciences. This program leads to a bachelor of science (B.S.) degree in any of the engineering fields listed above, and a bachelor of arts (B.A.) or a B.S. degree from the School of Arts and Sciences in any of its majors. A five-year, dual-degree program in bioenvironmental engineering is also available in cooperation with the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS), a professional school that specializes in agricultural and environmental studies. This program leads to B.S. degrees from the School of Engineering and SEBS.
Finally, it is possible for students to take the first two years of the four-year B.S. program at the Camden College of Arts and Sciences or the Newark College of Arts and Sciences. At the end of the second year, students transfer to the School of Engineering in New Brunswick. For some majors it will be necessary for students who select this route to complete summer courses and/or an extra one or two semesters on the New Brunswick Campus to earn the B.S. degree. Interested applicants should contact the assistant dean for transfer services for specific information.
