Engineering Science
Students interested in pursuing a career in engineering will find excellent
preparation at Manchester College.
Manchester College's engineering science major combines three years of
study at Manchester with one year at an engineering school. A second year
at the engineering school can be used to complete a second bachelor's degree.
This combination is called a 3-2, or dual degree, engineering program.
The curriculum builds a strong foundation for any engineering specialty,
and gives Manchester graduates an edge in today's job market.
Faculty
The Manchester science faculty is strong in all areas of physical science
and mathematics, the basis of a successful engineering education program.
The faculty who administer the 3-2 engineering program are exceptional
teachers and have served the profession as officers in a variety of professional
organizations.
The admission rate of Manchester engineering science students to engineering
schools across the country is exceptional. Since the program began in 1981,
100
percent of those who applied to graduate school were admitted. Engineering
schools where our engineering science majors have completed degrees include
Washington University at St. Louis, Purdue University, and
The
Ohio State University.
CourseworkCoursework for the
Engineering Science Major includes two semester of calculus-based physics and
two semesters of chemistry fundamentals. Upper-level course work depends
on the route of engineering specialization: chemical or physical. More
