Wentworth’s Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSEN) is a 4-year innovative interdisciplinary degree for students who prefer to create a curriculum integrating their engineering and non-engineering interests in a structured manner. Study Abroad is also highly encouraged with various study abroad and co-op abroad options to select from.
BSEN students are required to select a concentration from five possible engineering areas (1) Biomedical, (2) Civil, (3) Computer, (4) Electrical, (5) Mechanical; and directed studies/minor(s) areas.
Minor Option
Students may select a minor from a variety of Academic Units through the the School of Architecture and Design, the School of Computing and Data Science, the School of Management, and School of Sciences and Humanities, fulfill their minor(s) requirements.
Electives
Students may select courses that match their personal interests and broaden their career options. The combinations are varied and limited only by student interests and imagination. Our engineering students have focused on fields ranging from Sustainability, Life Cycle Analysis, Business Management, Computer Science, Applied Math and Sciences, Music, and Art.
Working closely with a faculty advisor and/or a full-time faculty member, students design an engineering education meeting individualized personal and professional goals.
