CURRICULUMS:
All of the engineering curriculums are based on an intense study of mathematics, the basic sciences, and the engineering sciences common to all branches of the profession. On this base is built the in-depth study of the important principles and concepts of each separate discipline. These principles are applied to the understanding and solution of problems of the current interest and importance in the field. Each curriculum is designed to provide the knowledge and ability necessary for practice as a professional engineer,or for successful graduate study, which may include law, business administration, or medicine as well as the normal engineering and science disciplines.

In addition, ocean options are available in chemical and in mechanical engineering. Because the same fundamental concepts underlie all branches of engineering, the freshman year courses are quite similar for all curriculums, and the choice of a specific branch of engineering may be delayed until the beginning of either the second term or the second year of study. Students electing one of the programs that include ocean options follow the curriculums for chemical, civil, or mechanical engineering for 2 or 3 years and enroll in many ocean engineering courses in the junior and senior year.
