Engineering Education Undergraduate Degree Programs

Our two undergraduate programs provide an opportunity for students to reach beyond the bounds of traditional engineering disciplines. View the "Engineering Your Major" video below and learn about the programs' rich history.

Multidisciplinary Engineering

Multidisciplinary Engineering (MDE) is for students who plan to practice engineering as a career but whose specific career goals cannot be accommodated within one of the traditional engineering fields. The program offers considerable flexibility and permits you to choose from an established plan of study or develop an individual plan that brings together multiple engineering disciplines, or non-engineering disciplines.

Interdisciplinary Engineering Studies

Interdisciplinary Engineering Studies (IDES) is for students who want an engineering education but do not plan to practice engineering. The program offers considerable flexibility and permits you to develop an individual plan of study to meet educational goals that require working at the interface between engineering and other disciplines.
