Engineers design, build, and innovate for today鈥檚 world from surgical robots to energy-efficient
buildings. WCU鈥檚 B.S. in Engineering prepares students for rewarding careers in these
fields and beyond! The degree鈥� just one of WCU's engineering degree programs鈥� features concentrations in Civil Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or Robotics and Automation.
You鈥檒l benefit from small classes, expert faculty with industry experience, research
opportunities, and working with industry partners. If you鈥檙e inspired to create cutting-edge
technology, develop sustainable infrastructure, or revolutionize how we power our
future, WCU gives you the tools, support, and experiences to make it happen.
Explore Engineering Analysis and Design, Robotics, Computer Simulation and Modeling,
Optimization, Advanced Systems and Analytics, and more. WCU鈥檚 engineering program
focuses on project-based learning, which means you鈥檒l experience and apply the concepts
and theories you鈥檙e studying. You鈥檒l also take foundational classes in calculus and
physics and specialized courses in one of the program鈥檚 dynamic concentrations: Civil
Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Robotics and Automation.
Students experience a two-semester senior capstone project, where you鈥檒l be part of
a team that works in collaboration with a mentor from one of our industry partners
and solves a real engineering challenge.

Students who want to make the world a better place and help solve 21st-century challenges in areas such as energy, new product design, advanced manufacturing,
advanced mechatronics, the environment, and human health, may choose to pursue a degree
in engineering. The Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.) program in Western
Carolina University's College of Engineering provides a foundation in mathematics, science and engineering augmented with engineering
specializations.
The program combines the strengths of a traditional engineering curriculum such as
design and system analysis with extensive hands-on laboratory and real-world experience.
The focus is on project-based learning and strong faculty-student interaction.
We believe successful engineers must have a broad base of technical skills to meet
the engineering challenges of the future. Graduates will be prepared to succeed in
the engineering workforce or graduate degrees.
