Accredited by ABET

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria with no applicable program criteria.

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) is the flagship baccalaureate degree in engineering at the Pott College of Science, Engineering, and Education. Your interest in solving problems and your competence in mathematics are essential for completing this course of study. As you work toward graduation, you concentrate studies in one of five emphasis areas: mechatronics, mechanical, civil, industrial and manufacturing, and electrical and computer.

• Electrical and Computer Emphasis
• Industrial and Manufacturing Emphasis
• Mechanical
• Mechatronics

Our faculty work for you—and with you

Professors devote themselves to your academic fulfillment, teaching both in the classroom and laboratory. Many have come from careers in industry, so you learn from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Student-teacher interaction is a hallmark of the College; class size is typically 24 students or fewer, and professors keep an open-door policy. Learn more about the engineering faculty.

"As a faculty member, I enjoy the smaller class sizes here. I get to know each student, hear their concerns and help them get where they want to go."

- Dr. Art Chlebowski, PhD Bioengineering, Assistant Professor of Engineering

The first step toward your professional license

With a degree in engineering from USI, you complete the first step toward attaining your license as a professional engineer (PE). Your senior year also prepares you for the second step, the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam. The pass rate for USI students who sit for this exam is consistently above the national average. Depending on the state where you apply for licensure, you may need to work under a licensed engineer for a qualifying period (four years in Indiana) before you take the PE exam. See more information about licensure in your state.
