Dual-Degree Engineering

Why study dual-degree engineering?

This partnership program builds on math and science with a liberal arts education that better prepares future engineers to deal with cultural, 经济, psychological and environmental constraints on modern design.

Students receive a Bachelor of Arts from Augustana and bachelor’s or master’s degree in engineering from the partner institution — 哥伦比亚大学, 在纽约市, New York; Washington 大学 in St. 路易, Missouri; or 南达科他州大学 in Brookings, 南达科塔州.
Students benefit from Augustana’s small but rigorous courses, nationally recognized physics instruction and undergraduate research opportunities. Through the engineering partner schools, students gain access to the resources, specialized expertise and networking available at larger institutions.
The program has historically produced outstanding career outcomes.

突出了

The dual-degree program has provided exceptionally strong career outcomes.

The demand for engineers that combine outstanding technical abilities with some of the “softer” skills inherent in a liberal arts education is always strong. Students gain a liberal arts understanding of the relationships of their technology to 经济, social and political forces — leaving them prepared to meet the challenges of ever-changing modern engineering research and development.

课程 & 组织

There are three main parts to the dual-degree program, which include:

SOPHIA general requirements
Augustana major requirements
先决条件 and GPA requirements specified by the particular school and engineering program

Some departments may allow one or more courses to be transferred back from the engineering school to complete major requirements. Preparatory courses at Augustana depend upon the engineering school selected and which specific program students wish to enter. Students should speak with their academic advisor or the physics department if interested in this program.

计划的细节

(a) The 哥伦比亚 Biomedical Engineering program has three tracks: Cellular and Tissue, 生物力学, and Biomedical Imaging.

(b) The 哥伦比亚 Industrial Engineering & 运筹学 program offers three concentrations: Engineering Man年龄ment Systems, Financial Engineering, 运筹学, and Industrial Engineering.

(c) Special Information for Students Wishing to Pursue 计算机科学 or 计算机工程 at WashU: The Dual Degree Program is designed to allow participating students to earn degrees at WashU that are not available at their liberal arts institutions. Students earning computer science degrees at WashU should not have earned computer science degrees at their liberal arts institution. Students earning computer science degrees at their liberal arts institution might consider pursuing a computer engineering undergraduate degree at WashU along with a master’s degree in computer science at WashU, or earning only a master’s degree in computer science at WashU without earning an undergraduate degree at WashU.

A computer science or computer engineering degree awarded by WashU must signify that a notable number of major-specific units were actually completed in residence on the WashU campus. For students planning to earn computer science or computer engineering degrees at WashU, please be aware of the major-specific residency requirements listed below.

Residency Requirement for 计算机科学 Degrees: The BSCS computer science major consists of 6 core courses (CSE131 and 5 others) and 8 elective courses. Students entering this program must have credit or demonstrate proficiency for CSE131 prior to entry. For any of the other 5 core courses, students who have credit or demonstrate proficiency for such a course will not be required to take it; however, some other course must be designated in consultation with the CSE advisor to replace that course. For the 8 elective courses, all but 2 of them must consist of CSE department courses that normally count for elective credit. Any course taken out of the CSE department for elective credit must be approved by the student’s CSE advisor.

Residency Requirement for 计算机工程 Degrees: The BSCoE computer engineering major consists of 9 core courses from the CSE department (CSE131 and 8 others), a probability/statistics course, and two circuits courses. Students entering this program must have credit or demonstrate proficiency for CSE131 prior to entry. For any of the other 8 core courses that are from the CSE department, students who have credit or demonstrate proficiency for such a course will not be required to take it; however, some other course must be designated in consultation with the CSE advisor to replace that course. The probability/statistics course and the two circuits courses may be satisfied by credit earned anywhere, subject to approval by the CSE advisor or the School of Engineering and Applied Science. The BSCoE course further requires 6 elective courses. 对于那些, all but 2 of them must consist of CSE department courses that normally count for elective credit. Any course taken out of the CSE department for elective credit must be approved by the student’s CSE advisor.
