College of Engineering - Interdisciplinary Study

New! Sustainable Engineering

The College of Engineering offers programs which are interdisciplinary complementing disciplines.

From the United Nations General Assembly (1987) Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development: Our Common Future, how can we meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs is one of the basic definitions of sustainability. Combine sustainability with engineering (the art of solving technical problems within a set of given constraints) and you have developed a toolbox of skills ready to be used to move us towards a truly "green" future.

Academic Advisor
With the assistance of the Program Coordinator, students will identify an academic advisor within the first semester of study. The academic advisor will normally serve as the thesis advisor in the case of a thesis student.
