    About

    Graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Design Engineering program become experts in the application of engineering principles to social problems in real-world contexts. The interdisciplinary curriculum combines the fundamentals of mathematics, science and engineering; the insights and analytics perspectives of the humanities, arts and social sciences; and the inspiration and hands-on skills of studio-based design education, which focuses on creativity and technology innovation and allows students to apply their knowledge to collaborative multiyear projects. For their junior and senior years, students select from focus areas, which include energy studies; robotics and automation; water security; music, audio engineering and recording arts; corporate sustainability; and community development. Students can also craft their own course of study.

    The Bachelor of Science in Design Engineering curriculum is a rigorous, flexible, interdisciplinary program of study that integrates:

    1. The strength of a Mines' technical degree with coursework in the fundamentals of mathematics, science and engineering 
    2. A challenging and integrated education in design, innovation, humanities and social sciences
    3. A focus area that allows students to pursue depth of study in an area of personal interest, emerging technologies and/or career interests as part of the core engineering degree

    These three components are tied together via a set of unique education experiences built into six integrative design studios, culminating in the Capstone Senior Design Studio.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    To be considered for admission, you must complete secondary school, earn superior marks in academic subjects and receive a certificate of completion that grants you admission to university-level studies in your country. All first-year applicants are considered using the same eligibility requirements and are included in the same selection process, regardless of being an international or domestic applicant. Our online application is the same for domestic and international students.

    13-Year Educational Systems 

    If pre-university education is 13 years long in your country, you must complete all 13 years before entering Mines. You must graduate from secondary school in your country earning a certificate of completion that enables you to attend a university in your country. Admission to Mines is not offered prior to completion of the 13th year. 

    International Schools 

    Your international school must have an appropriate level of recognition in the educational system it follows. You must also be earning a certificate of completion that will allow you to enter a university in that educational system. If your international school follows a U.S. curriculum, your school must have U.S. accreditation and you must graduate with a U.S. high school diploma or an equivalent credential.
