Engineering - BS - The College

The Engineering major is designed to educate students within a liberal arts environment so that they will develop the skills necessary to make significant contributions in the field of engineering, while also having a positive impact on society.   Rather than specializing in a particular field in engineering, Ottawa’s general program offers students a broader perspective and provides them with a solid foundation of the engineering principles needed to analyze and solve the technical challenges of the future.  Significant coursework in both applied and theoretical mathematics prepares students for entry into engineering graduate programs, while the program’s emphasis on oral, written, and interpersonal communication prepares students with the non-technical skills that are critically important in the engineering profession.
