Engineering (Bachelor of Science Engineering)
Electromechanical Systems Engineering Concentration
Students pursuing the Engineering (Bachelor of Science Engineering) degree take a common set of foundational courses in math and science in addition to engineering courses such as first-year design, senior design, statics & strength of materials, circuits, thermodynamics, fluids, and engineering economics. Electromechanical systems engineering (or EM Systems) combines aspects of mechanical and electrical engineering. It is especially important for products and processes that integrate mechanical systems with electronics and computer control. Strong job growth regionally and nationally for these professionals exist in areas such as controls, manufacturing, robotics, and automation. Companies in our region such as Caterpillar, Boon Edam, 3M, and Mertek hire electromechanical engineering graduates.

Note that the curriculum starts with MATH 115, Precalculus (which requires a Math ACT of 25 of higher or a Math RSAT of 590 or higher) and ENGR 120, Foundations of Engineering Design I, which has the following prerequisites:
Math ACT of 25 or higher/Math RSAT of 590 or higher
OR
Math ACT of 22-24/Math RSAT of 540-580 AND a grade of “C” or higher in MATH 111, College Algebra, AND a grade of “C” or higher in ENGR 110, Introductory Engineering Applications
OR
Math ACT of 21 or below/Math RSAT 530 or less AND a grade of “C” or higher in MATH 110, Fundamentals of Math, AND a grade of “C” or higher in MATH 111, College Algebra, AND a grade of “C” or higher in ENGR 110, Introductory Engineering Applications
Students not meeting the prerequisites for MATH 115 and/or ENGR 120 may declare engineering as major but must satisfactorily complete the appropriate prerequisites, listed above, before taking ENGR 120 and MATH 115.
Note that AP or Advanced Placement credit and transfer credit for math, science, English, history, etc., courses in the curriculum are accepted per the requirements of each corresponding department. Students who enter with credits for one or more of these courses are placed in the next course in the curriculum. Please contact the appropriate department for additional information on AP and transfer credit.
