Program
of Study
The Engineering Dual Degree program offers students
the opportunity to begin their academic career by pursuing
a Bachelors degree at Coastal Carolina University while
preparing for an Engineering degree from Clemson University.
The student will spend three years at Coastal Carolina
University majoring in one of the four degrees listed
below that is compatible with their engineering major
at Clemson University. The student will then spend two
years and one summer at Clemson University majoring
in one of the eight engineering degrees listed. While
at Clemson University, the student will complete the
remaining courses needed for their Coastal Carolina
University degree.
Students
interested in participation in this program should
consult
with the program director, Dr. Varavut Limpasuvan
(var@coastal.edu), in the Physics department.
Course selection and course sequencing is critical
for timely completion. A second advisor will be
assigned
from the major that is chosen at Coastal Carolina
University. Additional information is also found
in
the University
Catalog.

Special
Academic Opportunities
Each of Coastal's degrees in the Engineering Dual
Degree program offers a variety of educational opportunities
beyond classroom instruction. These include conducting
research projects in association with faculty, internships
at local corporations, student clubs and honor societies
for specific disciplines. Participating in these activities
enlarges a student's view of engineering, adds to
their developing experiences and is a fun, interesting
and rewarding pursuit for most students.
Career
Outlook
The career outlook for all types of engineers remains
very good. The number of graduates has remained constant
while the market for engineers has continued to grow.
Employment in the various engineering fields is expected
to increase as fast as all occupations. Engineers
can expect starting salaries significantly higher
than most other B.S. degrees. No changes are expected
in the distribution within the job market. Approximately
46% of engineers are employed in manufacturing industries
while the remainder are employed in service, research
and testing companies. Continuing education in the
field will be needed to keep up with changing technologies.
