该计划反映了基础广泛的工程课程中对反映当今工程领域各种职业的多样化产品的需求。当今的工程学包含许多新技术，但是核心的教育要求仍然是数学，物理科学，工程学和设计的全面基础。然后，工程科学学位允许学生专注于以下两个选项之一：生物医学或民用。从第一年开始，两个选项都将设计整合到整个课程中，并最终完成为期一年的大型高级设计项目。
This program reflects the societal need to solve complex challenges through an understanding of scientific principles and engineering design. The program combines a cross-disciplinary approach to give students the background to tackle these future challenges. Engineering today encompasses many new technologies, but the core educational requirements remain a thorough grounding in mathematics, sciences, engineering sciences, and design. The Engineering Science degree then allows students to specialize in one of three options: Physics, Chemistry, and Environmental. All options integrate design throughout the curriculum, beginning with the first year and culminating in a senior-level design project. Consequently, graduates of the program are well prepared to do analytic work and participate as design team members in engineering projects. The options guarantee a specificity of expertise within the Engineering Science program.
