Engineering Science

        The department (AeMES) offers bachelor’s, mas-ter’s and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in aerospace engineering. In addition, the department offers bache-lor’s and master’s degrees in engineering science as well as master’s and Doctor of Philosophy degrees iengineering mechanics.

        Engineering science encompasses a broad spec-trum of traditional engineering disciplines as well as emerging fields in the physical, social and biological sciences. The dynamic environment and interdiscipli-nary nature of today’s engineering problems and the impact of rapidly developing technologies provide numerous opportunities for the engineering scientist.

        The undergraduate curriculum combines perspec-tives from the liberal arts and sciences with essential engineering fundamentals and specific applications to areas of concentration. The senior design course brings together students from throughout the university to work in interdisciplinary teams on projects such as airborne rail guns, a system for tibial fracture diagno-sis, robots for hostile environments, systems for agri-cultural production and life support in long-range manned space missions.

        Engineering science accommodates a wide range of objectives by selecting electives in a concentration area. Areas of concentration are limitless and new programs are being developed in

        All engineering science students complete a core program of 107 hours. This core provides a broad knowledge of engineering fundamentals. Students then specialize in a 21-hour concentration. The bio-mechanics concentration simultaneously satisfies the requirements for the biomechanics minor. Further information on the areas of concentration as well as the minor are available from the academic programs office in 226 Aerospace.

Combined BS/MS Program

        The combined BS/MS degree program allows qualified students to earn a bachelor’s degree and a master's degree in engineering science with savings of up to six credit hours. Qualified students begin the MS degree in their senior year and double-count up to six graduate credits for both the BS and MS degrees. Students will be able to complete the MS degree within two or three semesters after completing the BS degree.

        Engineering science majors with a minor in bio-mechanics can opt for an M.S. degree in biomedical engineering, which is a college-wide interdisciplinary graduate program. For more information, contact the academic programs office.
