The engineering undergraduate programs prepare students for professional careers in engineering-related fields and/or for graduate study. The B.S in Engineering programs are geared toward daytime students and most can be successfully completed (with the co-op requirement) in 4.5 years on a full-time basis [including summers]. Most engineering courses are offered during the day.
The College of Engineering also offers four Bachelor of Science degree programs in Engineering Technology and the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology jointly with the College of Business and Innovation:The four-year Bachelor of Science programs in Engineering Technology include several courses in mathematics and physical sciences. These courses, in addition to technical and design courses, stress application rather than theory.
The four-year Bachelor of Science programs in Engineering Technology and Information Technology are geared toward daytime students as well as part-time, evening students. The B.S. in Engineering Technology and Information Technology programs can be completed in four years on a full-time basis. Engineering Technology and Information Technology courses are offered both during the day and evening. Part-time students can successfully complete the B.S. programs in Engineering Technology and Information Technology in 6 years.
The College of Engineering B.S. programs in Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science and Engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, III Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, (410) 347-7700. The Computer Science and Engineering program is also accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of ABET.
The College of Engineering programs in Computer Science and Engineering Technology, Construction Engineering Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology and Mechanical Engineering Technology are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of ABET. The Computer Science and Engineering Technology program is also accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of ABET.
All students in the B.S. in Engineering programs are required to complete a cooperative (co-op) education component in order to earn their degree. Co-op is the integration of classroom and practical experience in an organized program. The hands-on opportunity with high-tech equipment in industry not only integrates classroom theory with practical experience, it also provides the engineering student with financial assistance to help offset the cost of their education.
Additionally, the co-op requirement allows the engineering student to develop a viable network with industry professionals. In many cases, co-op leads to employment upon graduation. The Career Development Center has developed high quality jobs in order to provide students with valuable experiences. Students will have a variety of companies to choose from located throughout the United States and the world. Prior to the student's first co-op assignment, he or she will be required to complete a Professional Development course to assist in the transition from classroom to industry. Students must also pass other pre-requisite courses before they are eligible for a co-op placement. Students alternate university class work with semesters of employment in industry, business, or government. To satisfy the co-op requirement, a student must complete a minimum of three semesters of co-op experiences, with the option to complete as many as five co-op experiences.
With the registration of each co-op assignment, the student will pay a $475 fee. Successful completion of each work experience appears on the student's transcript.
The co-op program is supported by the Career Development Center which is located in 1040 Nitschke Hall. For more information, or to contact the CDC staff, visit the co-op website http://www.eng.utoledo.edu/coop/
