Engineering Science combines a study of an engineering disciple with the study of a basic science. This provides the educational background for the study of multi-disciplinary problems. Engineering Science is divided into four curricula: Engineering
Physics, Nano-Physics/Material Science, Nano-Chemistry/Bioengineering, and Engineering Mechanics. These areas allow the study of problems in development of electronic and biologic materials, electronic and optical devices, nuclear energy
and fluid and solid mechanics. Engineering science graduates are involved in design, development, research, management, and related activities in these fields. The breadth and diversity of the profession requires an undergraduate curriculum that
provides a sound foundation in the basic sciences, computational skills, and the fundamentals of engineering and engineering design. This curriculum provides a base for future professional growth and is also an excellent background for those who wish
to pursue careers in other professions including management, law, or medicine. The Engineering Science program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. For more information on
the program, contact undrmems@engr.pitt.edu or see the Engineering Science curriculum
