Undergraduate Majors

Undergraduate Program in General Engineering (GEN)

The Bachelors of Science General Engineering program at the Newark College of Engineering (NCE) is a broad-based and interdisciplinary program in engineering. It is designed for students who desire a rigorous, broad-based course of study in preparation for a professional career. The program provides students with the opportunity to study the traditional foundational engineering concepts in mathematics, science, application, and design. Additionally, built into the program are engineering electives where students can be exposed to courses in civil, mechanical, industrial, biomedical, chemical, computer, and electrical engineering in order to obtain a well-rounded knowledge base.
 
Students must work closely with the academic adviser to develop a meaningful plan of study to meet their interests and the program graduation requirements.
 

Program Objectives:

Students in the General Engineering program will learn about the various engineering paths and diverse career fields that they lead to. Through developing a student’s foundational STEM education and broad-based exposure to the traditional engineering fields, students will be prepared to either declare one of the majors offered by NCE or work closely with the academic advisor to plan a general curriculum.

We expect students and graduates of the General Engineering B.S. program to exhibit the following:

  • Professionalism – students work on developing professional skills to help them be successful in the workplace including but, not limited to: communication, time management, leadership, collaboration, and networking.
  • Academic Excellence – students work on enhancing their academic skills in order to be an asset in the various career fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
  • Commitment to Growth & Development – students engage with the community to better understand themselves and others in order to problem solve and improve the lives of those around them.
