This program is available at the following location:

• OSU-Cascades

Options available: 

• Energy Systems Engineering
• Engineering Computing

The Engineering Science program is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals. The base of the T-shaped curriculum is a common core built from select courses across several engineering disciplines (industrial, electrical, and mechanical) as well as the science and mathematics courses required by those programs. The depth of the curriculum is provided by technical electives. Electives from a variety of different engineering disciplines are offered, and students can specialize by taking courses focused in a single area. Some of the many fields students graduating from this program will be ready to work in are industrial, electrical, mechanical, design, and process engineering. Additionally, they will be eligible for graduate studies in any of these fields.

Upon successful completion of the program, students will meet the following learning outcomes:

• Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
• Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
• Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
• Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
• Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
• Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
• Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
