With Elon's dual-degree
engineering program, students earn two degrees: a
bachelor's degree in one of five concentrations from
Elon and a bachelor's degree in engineering from an
engineering school. Students spend the first three years
at Elon and approximately two more years at an
engineering school in this program. Elon is presently
partnering with the engineering schools at North Carolina
State University, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Columbia
University, Notre Dame University, Washington University in St. Louis, University of South Carolina and North
Carolina A&T State University.
Why Engineering?
Engineers have the opportunity to be of profound service
to humanity. Engineers are problem solvers. They apply
science and mathematics to create solutions that are
intended to be of "benefit to mankind." These
solutions can deal with energy, air and water pollution,
space travel, biomedicine, construction, computer design,
bridge and dam design, and many other interesting areas
of study. There are numerous fields of engineering to
enter, including Aerospace, Biomedical, Chemical, Civil,
Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Material Science,
Mechanical Engineering and many others.
Why Elon?
The strength of Elon's program is built upon a
distinctive undergraduate curriculum that combines
courses in the liberal arts and sciences with engineering
courses beginning the freshman year. By the time students
have completed three years at Elon and two years at an
engineering school, they have exceptional career
preparation distinguished by broad knowledge in their
field and foundational skills essential to the workplace.
These students leave this program well-rounded,
articulate and highly educated engineers. In particular,
Elon's program offers:
-
-
Small class size with mentoring
by faculty who are focused on teaching
undergraduates
-
General Engineering taught by
experienced engineering faculty. Students will have
an engineering course each fall and spring semester
while at Elon.
-
Exposure to many types of
engineering before a final commitment is made. The
program is flexible enough to even allow some
adjustment within the science concentrations.
-
A variety of internship
possibilities
-
Opportunities to participate in
Elon's nationally recognized study abroad
program
-
The opportunity to spend early
formative years at a small, supportive
university.
