Customize your PLUS
Engineering Plus gives you the flexibility to choose engineering and pathway electives that align with your personal career interests and help you build relevant knowledge and skills. Start building your four year plan today with our College of Engineering Advising Office.
Although your interests will determine which courses you select, some ideas for possible pathways are:
Semiconductors and Microelectronics
A selection of courses from electrical and computer engineering, materials science and engineering, physics and supply chain management will prepare you for a variety of careers in this expanding industry.
Sustainability
Coursework in Urban Studies, Environmental Studies, Anthropology, Sociology, and Public Policy can provide a breadth of education that complements engineering work in renewable energy, sustainable materials, and environmental engineering. Students might be interested in the Sustainability Minor or the Environmental Studies Minor.
Environmental Engineering
Build on the strong foundation of an engineering core with natural and physical sciences, sustainability, policy, communication, and community engagement to meet your unique career goals and interests.
Business
This is a beneficial option for students interested in moving into leadership or management roles as an engineer. The Engineering Plus program makes it possible for engineering students to earn a certificate or minor in +Business through the College of Business.
Industrial Engineering
The Industrial Engineering Minor is a transdisciplinary collaboration between COBE and COEN designed to prepare students with the tools, skills, analytical, and managerial capabilities necessary for the design, optimization, and management of complex manufacturing, service and supply chain systems.
Secondary Education
The Engineering Plus Secondary Education Emphasis prepares you to become certified to teach in a 6-12 grade setting and sets the stage for graduate work in engineering education. See the approved curriculum plan for Secondary STEM Education.
User Experience Research
Take courses in design ethnography, engineering design, psychology, and others to position yourself in the field of innovation + human experience.
Robotics
A combination of electrical and computer engineering, mechanical engineering, and vertically integrated projects can prepare you for a career in manufacturing, healthcare, defense, or consumer applications.
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is critical to all industries, including government, health care and education.
Pre-Medical Preparation
The recommended pre-requites for medical school admission and MCAT preparation mesh well with the B.S. in Engineering and prepare you for multiple medical pathways after its completion.
Psychology
A background in engineering and behavioral sciences prepares you for a career in designing technology, systems, and environments that are intuitive, efficient, and centered on how people think, behave, and interact with the world around them.
