Engineering - BS

The world needs engineers to create new products, design projects, and develop procedures to help solve problems.

WHY STUDY ENGINEERING?

You can start working toward your bachelor’s degree in engineering on our friendly, welcoming and close-knit campus.

During your first year, you’ll study chemistry, physics, and calculus and be introduced to engineering analysis and engineering computing. You’ll also participate in a group building project. Your second year of study will depend on what engineering discipline you’re interested in. However, your second-year courses will apply math and physics principles to engineering.

WHAT WILL I LEARN?

After you’ve completed all of the prerequisites, you’ll transfer to the Swanson School of Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh to complete your ABET-accredited degree in a specific engineering discipline.

Or, you may choose to continue your studies at Pitt-Bradford and earn your four-year degree in mechanical engineering technology or energy engineering technology.
