With 17 degrees and 8 departments to choose from, there are plenty of disciplines to choose from.
The College of Engineering offers four-year curricula leading to Bachelor of Science degrees in Engineering and in areas of Engineering Science. We also offer a Bachelor of Arts in Engineering degree.
Both Masters of Science Degrees, and Doctor of Philosophy Degrees are available. The College also offers a Masters of Engineering Degree.
In addition to these degrees, we offer several degree specializations.
Another option is the Master of Engineering program which allows students to design an interdisciplinary, flexible program of study, drawing on courses from the College of Engineering, the Optical Sciences Center, the Eller College of Management, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and the College of Science. For additional information on the Master of Engineering program, please visit their website.

Specializations
Computer Systems Engineering
This specialization deals with the analysis and design of systems in which computer programs play an important role. The computer software engineer performs the systems engineering that determines the computer programs to be developed, participates in the structured design of the programs, manages the programming effort and oversees the testing, debugging, installation and documentation of the programs. This specialization is available through the undergraduate degree program in Systems Engineering by structuring the choice of technical electives.
Energy Engineering
This specialization encourages interdisciplinary studies in the College of Engineering and Mines involving production, conversion, distribution, and utilization of energy from conventional and renewable sources. New perspectives on energy supply and demand are emphasized by an exposure to energy management principles, conversion technology and environmental issues. Courses include energy management wind energy, photovoltaics, electrical and thermal power systems, and environmental analysis.
Environmental Engineering
This specialization is available in the departments of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics, Hydrology and Water Resources, Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering and Mining and Geological Engineering. This discipline applies fundamental engineering principles to the prevention and solution of problems affecting our environment. Course work concentration in this specialization covers important environmental topics such as air and water pollution, hazardous waste management, remediation and reclamation, site characterization and environmental regulations.
Manufacturing Systems Engineering
The modern manufacturing systems engineer designs, installs, implements, improves and manages computer integrated manufacturing systems. This specialization prepares students in the areas of organizing, scheduling, and managing the total manufacturing system from product design through fabrication, distribution and consumer services. This specialization is available through the undergraduate degree program in Industrial Engineering by structuring the choice of technical electives.
Medical and Biological Engineering (BioMedical)
Medical and biological engineering is a multidiscipline in which physical scientists and engineers interact with life scientists and physicians to solve problems ranging from basic investigations to applications in clinics and the health care delivery system. The departments of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, Agricultural & Biosystems Engineering, Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Systems and Industrial Engineering have biomedical specializations available as undergraduate technical electives, graduate and minor programs and research. A university committee coordinates the specialization. See "Medical and Biological Engineering" under the Departments and Courses of Instruction section for further details.
Pre-Med
An engineering degree can provide a valuable background for physicians who will utilize the modern technological advances being implemented in the practice of medicine or who will participate in medical specialization. Electives that satisfy admission requirements for medical school are selected by the student and departmental advisor.
