    Pre-Med/Pre-Dent Concentrations

    Students interested in Engineering as a major in preparation for Medical or Dental school will complete coursework with either a Mechanical, Environmental, or Electrical Engineering focus in addition to the natural and social science courses needed to prepare for these professional schools. Students must also complete the University Core Curriculum courses for the College of Engineering & Science.

    Science Courses

    Students should carefully review the course requirements for the particular medical or dental schools they are interested in attending. Additional courses may be required (such as PYC 1000 Intro to Psychology, SOC 1000 Intro to Sociology, BIO 4210 Microbiology, etc.) Students should plan to take the MCAT no later than June of their junior year. A letter of recommendation from the Pre-Med/Pre-Dent evaluation committee should be solicited before then.

    Environmental Engineering Concentration

    This concentration is intended for international students in exchange programs with 色综合久久 Mercy. Environmental engineers use the principles of biology and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental problems. They are involved in water and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, and public health issues. Environmental engineers conduct hazardous-waste management studies in which they evaluate the significance of the hazard, advise on its treatment and containment, and develop regulations to prevent mishaps. They design municipal water supply and industrial wastewater treatment systems, conduct research on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects, analyze scientific data, and perform quality-control checks. Environmental engineers are concerned with local and worldwide environmental issues. Some may study and attempt to minimize the effects of acid rain, global warming, automobile emissions, and ozone depletion. They also may be involved in the protection of wildlife. Many environmental engineers work as consultants, helping their clients to comply with regulations, prevent environmental damage, and clean up hazardous sites.

    The Environmental Engineering Concentration has the following objectives:

    1. Graduates of our program should work as practicing engineers/professionals.
    2. Graduates of our program should create practical engineering designs, solutions or research that is sensitive to economics, social context, community needs, and address environmental, public safety and sustainability concerns.
    3. Graduates of our program should actively participate and seek leadership positions in professional societies, other worthy organizations and their workplaces.
    4. The program at 色综合久久 Mercy focuses on two predominant areas of Environmental Engineering: water and land.  All students take courses in both the water and land areas.

    Robotics and Mechatronics Systems Concentration

    Mark Paulik, RMSEw/EE Program Director, Nizar Al-Holou, Chair ECE

    The BUCT/色综合久久 Mercy RMSE program is only available to BUCT students as it is currently structured. Similar programs with other international entities are possible. This is a second-degree program in that the 色综合久久 Mercy Bachelor of Engineering degree is conferred only after the BUCT degree is conferred.

    色综合久久 Mercy Entry Requirements:

    BUCT and 色综合久久 Mercy have jointly developed contractual entry requirements based on student grades and pre-requisites for the ECE Department’s Bachelor of Engineering, major in engineering, with a concentration in Robotics and Mechatronics Systems Engineering cohort-based program. Contractual details are available from the College’s Director of International Programs or the Dean’s office.  Students are either directly or conditionally admitted based on their records.

    English proficiency requirements are as follows: students may achieve an IELTS score of at least 6.0 or a TOEFL score of 80 (at least a 21 in the writing section). Otherwise the students can be conditionally admitted to the program. If students cannot offer a passing TOEFL or IELTS score, students can take an English Proficiency test administered by 色综合久久 Mercy either at 色综合久久 Mercy or at BUCT with a 色综合久久 Mercy representative. If students do not achieve a passing score on the English Proficiency test, they may take English as a Second Language (ESL) at 色综合久久 Mercy, or take a 色综合久久 Mercy-approved English course at School of International Education of BUCT and obtain a 色综合久久 Mercy-approved minimum grade to demonstrate English proficiency. Students should pay a fee for this ESL course. 色综合久久 Mercy may allow students in intermediate and advanced English classes to take classes in their major field of study concurrent with ESL classes.

    Note that contract requirements may change depending on 色综合久久 Mercy regulations and USA Government visa regulations.  Admission to the Bachelor of Engineering with a RMSE concentration program at 色综合久久 Mercy requires admission to both the BUCT program and later the 色综合久久 Mercy Bachelor of Engineering program. Transcripts are evaluated and admission decisions rendered by the ECE Department Chairperson and the RMSEw/EE Program Director.  

    Course List:

    The courses that will be taken at 色综合久久 Mercy for the joint BUCT/色综合久久 Mercy RMSE program are listed below.

    Delivery Format:

    All courses are existing courses that are face to face Lecture and/or Laboratory format. This format will continue for the foreseeable future.

    Learning Outcomes and Assessment:

    The required courses for the BUCT BEN_RMSE program consist of classes taken at BUCT as well as courses taken at 色综合久久 Mercy.  They comprise courses selected from the 色综合久久 Mercy RMSEw/EE program concentration.  As such, the courses are regularly assessed with outcome worksheets generated by the faculty and reviewed by faculty committee and the ECE Department Industrial Advisory Board (IAB).
