Engineering Science is a multidisciplinary program designed to integrate the sciences with areas of traditional engineering such as research, design and analysis. A core of basic courses in mathematics, physics and chemistry forms the foundation of the curriculum and students are free to choose from a number of electives to pursue their area of interests. Typical areas include but are not limited to fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, operations research, information technology engineering, dynamical systems, bioengineering, environmental engineering, computational engineering, engineering math and statistics, solid-state devices, materials science, electromagnetic, nanoscience, nanotechnology, energy,and optics. Both undergraduate and graduate programs in Engineering Science are offered at the university level.
While typical engineering courses such as electrical engineering focus on application of established methods to the design and analysis of engineering solutions, Engineering Science focuses on the creation and use of more advanced and experimental techniques where standard approaches are inadequate.
is an engineering discipline which uses the scientific knowledge of the behavior and effects of electrons to develop components, devices, systems, or equipment (as in electron tubes, transistors, integrated circuits, and printed circuit boards) that uses electricity as part of its driving force. Both terms denote a broad engineering field that encompasses many sub fields including those that deal with power, instrumentation engineering, telecommunications, semiconductor circuit design, and many others.
