Overview
The Bachelor of Science in Design Engineering is designed to provide students with the theoretical foundations, hands-on experience and teaming skills required for effective conceptual, logistical and developmental approach leading to interdisciplinary design of the complex engineering devices, product life cycles and engineering systems through integration of the state-of-the-art computer-aided tools, concurrent engineering standards and simulation modeling techniques.
Upon completion of this degree, students will be prepared to hold positions such as System Design Engineer, Design Supervisor for Concurrent Engineering Projects, and Product Design Engineer. Program blends together professional components from the traditional engineering curricula with the practical aspects of programming applications, engineering project management standards, and simulation modeling techniques and combines knowledge and practices needed for professionals working on the engineering projects that require innovative and interdisciplinary background, skills and experience.
Requirements
To receive a Bachelor Science in Design Engineering Technology, students must complete at least 180 quarter units, 76.5 of which must be completed at the upper-division level and 45 of which must be taken in residence, including the research project classes. In the absence of transfer credit, students may need to take additional general electives to satisfy the total units for the degree.
