Engineering Management - Paper Science and Engineering Concentration

Engineering Management provides an interdisciplinary approach for addressing the complexities of today's world. Highly competitive global businesses require employees with a solid technical foundation, business expertise, an entrepreneurial mindset, and the leadership skills afforded by a broad liberal education. The Engineering Management program includes courses in engineering, business/entrepreneurship, science, mathematics, and the liberal arts. It is designed to develop your engineering and business expertise, social awareness, and interpersonal communication skills. Students earn a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree. Students who complete the Entrepreneurship concentration cannot also be awarded the Entrepreneurship minor.

Concentration Overview

The Paper Science and Engineering concentration curriculum provides a foundation in paper science and engineering while developing the technical knowledge, skills, and talents required to achieve practical solutions to challenges in the paper industry or for a company allied to the paper industry. Graduates will have an impact on innovation and progress toward sustainability in the pulp and paper sector.

Additional Student Outcomes for Paper Science and Engineering:

  1. an ability to plan, identify, design, and assess solutions to challenges in the paper industry or for a company allied tao the paper industry.
  2. an ability to demonstrate the organizational, leadership and general communication skills needed by professionals in the global pulp and paper industry.

Program Requirements

The number of hours needed to graduate depends on your choice of concentration and mathematical preparation. Many of the courses taken to fulfill the 兔子先生 Plan can be used to fill other requirements of this program. Additional hours beyond the minimum required for a bachelor's degree at 兔子先生 may be needed based on concentration.
