The mission of the College of Engineering is to support the teaching, research, and academic outreach needs of the Commonwealth and the nation. The objective of undergraduate education in the college is to prepare its students to become leaders in the practice of engineering. Curricula provide students with the academic foundation necessary to enter the profession of engineering upon graduation, or to pursue advanced degrees in graduate school.

The College of Engineering offers six Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees: Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.

College of Engineering majors are organized in four academic departments: Chemical Engineering (www.che.umass.edu); Civil and Environmental Engineering (www.cee.umass.edu); Electrical and Computer Engineering (www.ece.umass.edu); and Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (www.mie.umass.edu).

Engineering students have the opportunity to pursue minors in a number of other fields (e.g., mathematics, chemistry, physics). They can also apply for the Engineering Management minor offered by the Isenberg School of Management. Information about these minors can be found in the Academic Departments and Programs section of this Guide. Students are also encouraged to consult academic advisers in the corresponding programs of interest.
