The Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Engineering (BSIDE) lets you tailor your degree to a broad range of future career paths.
Our curriculum provides a strong foundation in engineering and science, coupled with courses focused on leadership, systems thinking and engineering design.
You will graduate ready to create real-world solutions for complex multidisciplinary challenges in a diverse range of fields, from traditional engineering to emerging areas like entertainment engineering and ocean engineering.
Curriculum
The BSIDE lets you design a degree that matches your interests while preparing you to be an engineering leader who creates innovative, people-focused solutions to real-world challenges.
You’ll take courses in four areas:
- Engineering foundation
- Engineering secondary field
