Culminating Experience
Engineering Sciences majors complete a culminating experience, which is part of a course (either as one of the two electives or as an additional course). Normally taken during the senior year, the course is chosen from the following options:
- Thesis
-
Design Project
- ENGS 89: Engineering Design Methodology and Project Initiation (taken as part of the two-course design sequence ENGS 89/90). May count toward both A.B. and B.E. degrees. (Prior to enrollment in ENGS 89, at least 6 engineering sciences courses must be completed: ENGS 21 plus 5 additional courses numbered 22 to 76.)
