About this opportunity
The School of Integrated Engineering offers flexible, multidisciplinary programs that integrate a foundation in math, science and engineering. There are two concentrations available.
Engineering science (business), BS
This BS program prepares students to solve the most demanding problems facing society. The innovation-focused interdisciplinary education inclusive of students with a wide range of prior science and math backgrounds.
Coursework emphasizes basic engineering and business principles including engineering design, artificial intelligence, business intelligence, accounting, supply chain management and ground theory in hands-on, project-based courses taught in makerspaces.
Interdisciplinary faculty members work with students to solve practical problems in partnership with local industry.
Engineering science (microelectronics), BS
This BS program prepares students to excel in the microelectronics industry.
Students initially master fundamental mathematics, coding, digital design and physics while also learning how engineers solve problems and consider societal and business aspects of their work.
Students will progressively learn about how complex microelectronic circuits are designed and fabricated, as well as testing methods.
Students also complete a year-long capstone project with their peers and a faculty mentor.
The Fulton School of Engineering is also offering a bachelor of arts in computer science at West Valley campus. Students will be empowered with the flexibility to delve into diverse disciplines, preparing them for careers spanning a wide array of domains that demand both computational expertise and domain-specific knowledge
Thesis
Barrett Honors Students may build off of their capstone work in ESC 490 and 491 to form a thesis committee, presentation and explore aspects of the capstone for thesis work. Or they may wish to do projects with faculty from other courses they took in the program in business, engineering, computer science and so on. With this interdisciplinary program, the possibilities for the thesis are open.
Academic Preparation
Students are encouraged to work on honors enrichment contracts and participate in the EPIC and Grand Challenges programs in Fulton Engineering for honors credit. Research and experiential learning are also important ways to develop experience and explore topics that may later develop into thesis projects.
Recommended Timeline
Students should begin to build working relationships with faculty in their first year, brainstorm ideas in their second year, and speak to faculty members to establish a thesis committee in their third year. The fourth year is for working on the thesis and finishing the project.
Other Honors Opportunities
This is a new school and program and we encourage the Barrett students to get involved and connect with our faculty. Take on leadership roles and help us make our program at West Valley excellent.
