Bachelor Program Descriptions

Chemical Engineering (BS in Engineering)

The curriculum is designed to prepare students in the areas related to process engineering, production, and research and development. A partial list of examples of industries that employ chemical engineers are biotechnology and biomedicine, electronics, food processing, environmental protection, paper, petroleum refining, and synthetic fibers. Within the chemical engineering curriculum, students choose among various areas of concentrations by judicious selection of required and elective courses. Areas of concentration include Biochemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Paper Science and Engineering. Students who choose Paper Engineering as their area of study are eligible to receive scholarships from the Paper Science and Engineering Foundation.

Computer Engineering (BS in 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 (BS in Computer Science)

Computer science is changing the world – be a part of it! Our computer science major covers the science behind all of our computer-based innovations such as the Internet, search engines, and digital entertainment, to name a few. Computer science looks at core principles underlying computer-based products, services, and research. So if you want to be at the leading edge of the digital future check out computer science as your college major.

Electrical Engineering (BS in 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 (BS in Engineering)

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 (Bachelor of Science)

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.

General Engineering (BS in Engineering)

The General Engineering major provides students with a rigorous introduction to the fundamentals of the engineering discipline within the context of Miami's strong liberal arts tradition. Emphasis on engineering fundamentals with flexibility for students to tailor their elective choices to match long term career interests. An international experience is integrated within the curricula either through a series of internationally themed courses and projects or through a semester studying abroad. Concentration areas include (but are not limited to) law, medicine, health care, nursing, and language. Engineering graduates may pursue graduate education in fields such as business, medicine, or law or may work in a diverse spectrum of technical and non-technical fields such as public policy, policy analysis, and technical sales.

Manufacturing Engineering (BS in 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 (BS in 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 (BS in 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.

Sofware Engineering (BS in Computer Science)

Software engineering is concerned with working with people to design computer systems that are effective, safe, and reliable.  The curriculum integrates course work in computer science, software engineering, mathematics, oral and written communication, the liberal arts and science. Throughout the program students learn in a team environment and thus gain skills in effective communication. Students also choose a specialization area (four courses) in an particular application area from diverse areas such as bioinformatics, scientific systems, computer security, business systems, and other areas.
