Engineering Science

At Coastal Carolina University, engineering science is offered as an undergraduate engineering degree through the Gupta College of Science. The engineering science program is a four-year curriculum that includes a general education component, foundational mathematics and science and engineering courses, two-term minor capstone design experience and an area of concentration. The engineering science program currently offers a physics concentration; electrical and other concentrations are being developed. All areas of concentration include a culminating two-term major capstone design experience. Upon completing all requirements, students are awarded a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in engineering science with their selected area of concentration.

After completing the Bachelor of Science in engineering science, students will demonstrate:

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics
2. An ability to 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
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
4. An ability to 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
5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies. 

Within 3-5 years of graduation, graduates are expected to:

• Engage in ongoing professional development activities including but not limited to graduate study, leadership training, certification and licensure
• Foster future generations of engineers through mentoring, service and outreach
• Assume leadership roles in professional and/or community life
• Be productive, responsible, healthy citizens with a global perspective.
