School of Engineering

The School of Engineering provides interdisciplinary, professional and comprehensive education and research opportunities in engineering, sciences, and the application and management of technology. The Engineering School prepares students for leadership and technology positions in industry, government, and academia and significantly contributes to the profession and community locally, nationally, and globally.

The School of Engineering offers a distinctive education in fundamental and emerging disciplines through its faculty and institutional partners. The education features an application-oriented approach to interdisciplinary issues and opportunities that balances theory with real world state-of-the-art practices.

A stimulating environment, modern research laboratories, and distinguished programs at the bachelor, master, and doctoral levels ensure that our graduates possess creative, innovative, and analytical skills with a strong commitment to research and technical excellence, ethical conduct, and cultural, societal, and global well-being.

The School of Engineering also offers an accelerated BS to MS program designed to allow undergraduate students with a strong academic record to pursue a graduate degree in an expedited format. This accelerated option is available to students beginning their undergraduate studies in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.

Policies

Transfer Policy

All undergraduate ABET accredited program students must complete all Engineering ma­jor coursework, engineering and Technical electives, and STEM coursework at the 300+ level; and junior/senior level (as per the program requirements) at University of Bridgeport.

Students are able to transfer classes, if approved by the chair and dean, outside the University at lower (100-200) levels or freshman/sophomore level (as per the program requirements) only at the time of transferring into the program; and based on UB’s Transfer Policy as pertains to evaluation of course descriptions, syllabi, and examples of work done in transferred-in classes.

Course Substitution Policy
