Engineers have the opportunity to be of profound service to humanity. Engineering
means problemsolving.Through the application of mathematics and science, an engineer
may be solving problems dealing with energy, space exploration, environmental issues, prod-
uct manufacturing, construction or any number of interesting areas of study. Possible engi-
neering degrees include: aerospace engineering, biomedical engineering, chemical engi-
neering, civil engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, environmental
engineering, industrial engineering, materials science and engineering, mechanical engi-
neering, nuclear engineering, and textile engineering.
The unique dual degree engineering programs at Elon support students in working
toward two degrees: one from Elon and one from an engineering university. Elon currently
has an affiliation with North Carolina State University (NCSU), Virginia Polytechnic and
North Carolina A&T State University.The student will complete three years at Elon.These
years will include a full array of science, mathematics, computer science and general studies
courses along with their discipline-specific courses.Also included will be engineering
courses every fall and spring taught by engineering faculty.After these three years at Elon,
the student will transfer to an affiliated engineering university for two more years. Upon
completion of these five years (three at Elon and two at an affilliated engineering universi-
ty), a student will receive a B.S. degree from Elon in engineering physics, environmental
engineering, or engineering mathematics or a B.A. degree in chemistry or computer sci-
ence/engineering, and a B.S. degree from the engineering school in an engineering area of
choice. Students must complete Elon’s General Studies Program requirements and one of
the options listed below.
All dual degree engineering programs require the following core courses:
