Introduction
Engineering
is a profession in which knowledge of the mathematical and natural
sciences is applied to develop ways to use the materials and forces
of nature economically for the benefit of humanity.
At Rutgers,
four-year undergraduate curricula leading to the degree of Bachelor
of Science are offered in the fields of applied sciences, bioenvironmental,
biomedical, chemical, civil, electrical and computer, industrial,
and mechanical engineering, and materials science & engineering.
Numerous areas of concentration are available within these disciplines,
such as aerospace, biochemical, environmental, and packaging engineering.
Bioenvironmental
(formerly bioresource) Engineering utilizes the physical and biological
sciences in solving problems related to plants, animals, food, wastes,
and our natural environment. Graduates within this major have a
unique engineering education enabling them to apply the rapid advances
being made in the biological and environmental sciences for the
