IntroductionEngineering 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. Industrial engineering applies fundamentals from the mathematical, physical, and management sciences to efficiently design and analyze large systems that serve industry and government both in manufacturing and service. Specializations are offered in sophisticated mathematical modeling, quality control techniques, computer-aided design, simulation, manufacturing, engineering economics, and production planning and control.
