Program Description
The Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Science at the College of Staten Island is a modern practical approach to engineering education. The engineering student receives a broad engineering, mathematical and scientific background which permits flexibility and adjustment to the rapidly changing techniques of contemporary engineering. Students study in brand new high-tech equipped laboratories. The program also has several state-of-the-art research laboratories that provide opportunities for undergraduate students to participate in research programs at the college. We have found that students who qualify for research programs are also more highly employable in today's engineering marketplace. The Engineering Science program offers two specializations (Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering) usually taken in the senior year for students to explore and prepare for particular areas of engineering and to prepare for graduate work in a specialized field.

The Engineering Science bachelor's degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org/

We also offer a joint major between Engineering Science and Physics. We encourage Physics majors who share much of their course work with Engineering Science to take this option to improve their employability in case they do not go on to graduate school.

Program Educational Objectives
Graduates of the broad-based Engineering Science program will be valued by the engineering community. The educational objective of our Engineering Science program is to prepare graduates to achieve success in the following areas within a few years of graduation:

Participating in the design, development and application of new products, technologies, and processes spanning the wide range of engineering disciplines recognizing that the profession will constantly evolve to meet new challenges
Continuing their graduate studies and/or professional development through admission to graduate programs, participating in professional organizations, seminars, workshops, technical committees and conferences or obtaining professional recognition
Conducting themselves in a responsible, professional, and ethical manner and taking advantage of their broad engineering education to make contributions in their chosen fields
Becoming leaders in professional activities and volunteerism that support humanity and economic development locally, nationally and globally
Participate in mentoring programs to encourage prospective engineers as well as to provide professional development guidance to existing students

Program Learning Goals
The Engineering Science Curriculum prepares our students to achieve the program (student) outcomes, which require that our graduates demonstrate that they have develped an ability to:

Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
Apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
Communicate effectively with a range of audiences
Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

Program Career Professional Development Activities
Students are encouraged to complete the following milestones as part of their preparation for future careers or advanced education. A member of your Success Team can help you schedule these activities at the appropriate times to keep you on track for both academic and professional success.
