GENERAL ENGINEERINGAssociate Dean for Undergraduate Studies: Ruth E. Davis The School of Engineering, under the direction of the Office of the Dean, offers the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in general engineering and a minor in general engineering. The bachelor’s degree in general engineering is designed to provide students with a less specialized, technical degree with concentrations designed to meet the needs of the individual student. The general engineering degree allows students to pursue an engineering degree while preparing for work or graduate study in fields such as law, medicine, business, or education. The bioengineering concentration focuses on the application of electrical, chemical, mechanical, and other engineering principles to understand, modify, or control biological systems and educates students to solve problems at the interface of engineering and the life sciences. The goal of the multidisciplinary bioengineering program is to educate students to solve problems at the interface of engineering and the life sciences. Career paths for students with a concentration in bioengineering include the medical-device and biotechnology industries, biomedical research, and graduate study in bioengineering, science, or medicine. REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MAJORIn addition to fulfilling the University Core Curriculum requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree, students majoring in engineering must complete the minimum number of units and the specified requirements for their concentration. Concentration in Bioengineering Students majoring in engineering with a concentration in bioengineering must complete a minimum of 191 units and the following requirements: English
Bioethics
Biology-Chemistry-Physics Core
Mathematics Core
Engineering Core
Senior Design Project
In addition, students must meet the requirements of one of the following two specializations: Specialization in Bio-molecular or Biomedical Devices and Instrumentation Bio-molecular Specialization
Biomedical Devices and Instrumentation Specialization
Other Concentrations in General Engineering Students majoring in engineering must complete a minimum of 189 units and the following requirements: English
Mathematics and Natural Science
Engineering
