Introduction

Engineering schools recognize that students who come into engineering from a liberal arts background frequently have a broader perspective than the average engineering student. Therefore, engineering schools often look for opportunities to recruit students from liberal arts institutions. In order to provide pathways into engineering for students, Pacific offers both an Engineering Science major and Dual Degree program options.

Program Learning Outcomes

Graduates of the engineering program will have:

• an ability to apply principles of mathematics, science, and engineering in a variety of contexts.
• an ability to use the techniques, skills, and tools necessary for science and engineering practice.
• an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
• an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability.
• an ability to participate in projects that cross disciplines and to function on multi-disciplinary teams.
• an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
• an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
• an ability to communicate effectively
• the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental and societal context.
• a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.
• a knowledge of contemporary issues.
