Bachelor Program Descriptions

Computer Engineering

Computer Engineering blends topics from computer science and electrical engineering to create digital systems that benefit society. Computer engineers have influence in fields such as computers, computer systems, energy, information technology, manufacturing, nanotechnology, power generation, and transportation. A keen interest and ability in math and physics will lead to success in this major.

Computer Science

Computer Science provides students with a thorough understanding of the key principles and practices of computing and the mathematical and scientific principles that underpin them. The program emphasizes software design and development. Strong math and science skills are a good preparation for this major.

Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering encompasses analysis, design, synthesis, and maintenance of products, services, and systems in a wide range of areas. Such areas include electrical, electromechanical, electronics, computer, and information-related systems. The field of electrical engineering requires the ability to understand and apply math, physics, and engineering; to research concepts and apply modeling methods; to simulate and test working conditions and their impact on the designed systems, and to synthesize these elements into the optimum design.

Engineering Management

The Engineering Management curriculum consists of an engineering and business core complimented by a concentration in one of the following technical specialties: Environmental Engineering, Manufacturing, and Paper Science. The goal of this interdisciplinary program is to educate students to meet a business and industry need that is not met by either engineering or business programs at the undergraduate level.

Engineering Physics

Engineering Physics, offered by the Physics Department, is in the College of Arts & Science. Miami's program combines a rigorous technical background with flexibility in course selection allowing for personalized areas of interest. The curriculum contains significant laboratory experience including electronics and computational physics.

Manufacturing Engineering

Manufacturing Engineering is one of only a small number of ABET accredited undergraduate programs in the entire nation. It is based on a combination of traditional electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering courses focused toward designing and manufacturing a quality, cost-competitive product. It emphasizes problem solving and design, and integrates concepts with laboratory experience in computer-aided design and computer-integrated manufacturing systems. Our most successful manufacturing engineering students have a strong interest and ability in math and science, particularly physics.

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering encompasses the analysis and design of products, devices, machines, processes and systems, and the utilization of work and energy. Mechanical engineers touch almost every aspect of our lives. Miami's Mechanical Engineering program emphasizes design and analysis, integrated with lab experiences.

Paper Science and Engineering

Paper Science and Engineering is one of only 13 paper science programs in the United States, and the only program accredited by ABET. It combines a strong education in chemical engineering, chemistry, mathematics, and paper science with liberal arts, computing, and communications courses. Strong math and science skills, particularly in chemistry are the best foundation for this major.

Systems Analysis

Systems Analysis is recognized as one of the leading undergraduate, computer science/information systems programs in the mid-west. This major is a strong program that combines a broad liberal education with expertise in computer science, information systems, and mathematical modeling.
