Engineering

Engineering is a creative profession in which technological problems are met within the framework of scientific possibilities, economic constraint, and cultural preference. The Wilkes University engineering programs provide the knowledge and investigative skills, both theoretical and experimental, to responsibly address professional and societal needs through modern curricula, hands-on experience, and a personalized academic environment. Students intending to major in Engineering are encouraged to be well prepared in the sciences and mathematics. Engineering students may also elect to complete a minor in Physics.

Wilkes University offers five engineering programs. Three programs maintain professional accreditation (Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, ABET, III Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012; telephone: 410 347-7700): Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering are housed in the Division of Engineering and Physics, and Environmental Engineering is housed within the Department of Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences. Two additional engineering programs are configured to provide greater flexibility to pursue depth and breadth in specific areas of interest to the student: Applied and Engineering Sciences and Engineering Management, both housed in the Division of Engineering and Physics.
