工程
The 工程 Department offers an undergraduate major in Human-Centered 工程 (HCE) to students in the Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences. 学生 in this major will receive a 理学士(理学学士.S.)工程. The HCE program provides students with a technical education that is human-centered, 从驱动, and focused on applying engineering knowledge to solve complex problems that impact society. The HCE major is designed to meet the standards of ABET, the main body for accreditation of engineering programs in the United States. HCE courses are distinctive in that they actively integrate the acquisition and application of technical engineering knowledge with a broader understanding of how that knowledge shapes and is shaped by society. 课程 range from introductory engineering design to higher-level technical electives focused on specific topics within engineering. HCE majors apply their knowledge of the physical and natural sciences, 数学, and computation to engineering fields and connect their academic experiences in BC’s Core Curriculum to their formation as engineers. All HCE students participate in weekly reflection sessions that integrate their learning experiences with broader questions about society, 学生形成, 共同利益.

Corequisite 课程 for the 理学士(理学学士.S.)项目
- PHYS2200: Introduction to 物理 I for 物理 Majors
- CHEM1109/CHEM1111: General 化学 I with Lab
- 微积分1和微积分2
物理位置
- 学生 must take PHYS2200 irrespective of their scores on the AP exam.
微积分的位置
- HCE students should take 微积分1和微积分2 in their first year and should work with their HCE advisors to determine the appropriate calculus sequence. 学生 who are exempted from one or both of these requirements must, in consultation with their HCE advisors, identify an equivalent number of math/science credits to take for substitution.
非专业信息
Incoming first-year students must be admitted as HCE majors in the Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences to be part of the undergraduate engineering major. BC students can enroll in HCE courses open to non-majors and reach out to HCE faculty regarding opportunities for research.
