The B.S. in Engineering gives you a broad foundation across the field, without asking you to concentrate in a single discipline. You explore multiple areas of engineering, develop an understanding of how they connect and shape a direction of your own, even without declaring a formal concentration. That flexibility also lets you pursue academic interests elsewhere at Elon, from business and entrepreneurship to professional writing and rhetoric to world languages.
Engineering
Your coursework moves through mechanics, materials, computing and design. Each year, a hands-on design experience puts that learning into practice through prototyping, experimentation, collaborative problem-solving, service learning and research.
The B.S. in Engineering is a 97 credit hour program that combines a strong foundation in mathematics and the sciences with core and advanced engineering coursework, annual design experience and opportunities to explore other areas of interest.
Build the mathematical and scientific foundation you’ll use throughout your engineering studies, with coursework in calculus, physics and chemistry and additional study chosen from mathematics and the sciences.
Choose at least one additional course — 4 semester hours
Develop your engineering knowledge through computing, mechanics, materials and a sequence of design experiences that begins early in the program and continues through your senior year.
Bring economic and ethical perspectives into your engineering education by completing one economics course and one ethics course. These courses may also count toward the Elon Core Curriculum.
Choose 24 semester hours of EGR electives:
The recommended sequence shows how a full four-year course of study fits together.
You'll work with your advisor to find the right path for you.
A place for curious problem solvers.
The B.S. in Engineering fits if you want engineering breadth and are ready to point that breadth in a direction of your own. Because you’re not tied to a single concentration, the direction you build often comes from what you add through electives, your Core Curriculum choices or a minor. That direction can lead toward graduate study, but just as often it leads toward a career shaped by your own combination of engineering fundamentals and additional preparation.
There are many combinations of courses that you can add to your degree path, and a wide range of professional opportunities. A few options are here, but talk with your advisor about a combination that fits the direction you're considering.
