ECU's Engineering program provides a unique preparation for a career of turning dreams into reality in the exciting world of engineering. Not only are our graduates technically capable, but they also excel in advanced skills such as identifying user needs, developing a complete business case for technology, analyzing problems from a life cycle (concept-to-recyle) perspective, and solving the core problem rather than just superficial parts of it.
ECU Engineering differs from many other engineering program since it:
- Emphasizes the application of engineering knowledge in solving real-world problems by engaging in hands-on engineering activities beginning in the first semester;
- Blends math and science with engineering courses , software, and labs to offer a curriculum that puts theory into practice and turns dreams into reality;
- Provides an environment in which students work closely with faculty and classmates in a team-based process that promotes learning and achievement.
ECU Engineering students learn and develop the skills needed for career success in a technology-driven, global economy. From the first day in the program, the focus is on hands-on experiences in real-world engineering projects. Team-based learning develops leadership, teamwork, and problem solving skills. Graduates are prepared to succeed and grow in applying twenty-first-century technology to improve society and organizational performance.
The Engineering curriculum features a common core that develops fundamental engineering skills and four concentrations that build specialized knowledge for making an impact in the global economy: bio-medical engineering, bio-process engineering, engineering management and systems engineering.
- Biomedical Engineering draws upon multiple fields to deliver better patient outcomes, thus impacting modern healthcare. Biomedical engineers are transdisciplinary professionals that improve healthcare by contributing to the world’s biological knowledge and facilitating the development of novel devices and drugs.
- Bioprocess Engineering is one of the fastest growing segments of the economy. Bioprocess engineers design and develop equipment, methods, and systems for the efficient and environmentally sound manufacturing of medicines, vaccines, diagnostics, and biologically-based products. Bioprocess engineers are also skilled in environmental protection and remediation.
- Engineering Management graduates are skilled in critical management systems such as entrepreneurship, project management, process planning and control, and logistics. These graduates typically work for technology-driven organizations to assure the management systems perform optimally.
- Systems Engineering is an iterative approach to problem solving that examines all stages of a system's life cycle: design/development, production/construction, operation/maintenance, and retirement/disposal. Systems engineers develop high-quality, cost-effective, environmentally sound solutions that meet the needs of their customers.
