Overview
Engineering is the use of science in the design and construction of technologies, machines, and structures. It involves everything from the wheel and the car to the transistor and the computer. Engineering is the means by which other sciences build their tools and equipment; and it is the means by which we implement the lessons of science in the real world. Physicists discovered x-rays and the rocket equation, engineers built the scanners and the rockets. Engineering has a range of subdisciplines, including biochemical, biomedical, chemical, civil, and mechanical engineering. Each relies on applied mathematics and computer modeling but uses different tools and is concerned with different materials and different problems; each is a vital discipline in its own right.
Core Curriculum
The core topics introduce the field of engineering and give students the skills and understanding to choose and pursue their interests in the specialized topics. On completing the core, students will be able to independently read the historical and academic literature. Students will have to choose whether to pursue biochemical, biomedical, chemical, civil, or mechanical engineering. The core topics are:
