Insight into Innovation
Do you enjoy science and mathematics? Do you want to solve environmental problems or build the technology of the future? Engineers translate their knowledge of science and mathematics into innovative designs and products like “smart” buildings, renewable energy solutions, efficient transportation systems, and groundwater monitoring systems. Every day, engineers make decisions that can affect the lives and well-being of thousands of people. To make wise choices, technical skill is not enough. Alongside your training in a specific engineering discipline, you will obtain a foundation in the liberal arts which will provide you with a broader perspective on the world. We aim to produce engineers who are not only highly trained in their fields, but who are also knowledgeable and concerned about the wider impact of their work.
Five Years, Two Degrees
Saint Michael’s offers a 3+2 engineering programs with the University of Vermont (UVM). The program begins with mathematics and laboratory science courses at Saint Michael’s, where you’ll have access to your professor in the classroom as well as the lab. When you transfer to UVM you’ll focus on the engineering aspect of your curriculum. While the program takes five years to finish, you do receive two college degrees: a BA from Saint Michael’s and a BS degree in engineering from UVM.
Students typically take their first course at UVM in the Spring of their first year. In the second and third years, students typically take one or two courses per semester at UVM – the schedule depends on the engineering discipline they choose at UVM (e.g. Civil, Electrical, Engineering Management, Environmental, Mechanical, and Biomechanical)

Personal Attention
The engineering advisers at Saint Michael’s College ensure students have plenty of interaction and support as they pursue an engineering degree. The faculty members who serve as Engineering Program advisers are dedicated to working with students one-on-one to work out the details of courses and scheduling for this challenging program.
Grant/Scholarship Funding
Students become full-time students at UVM in their fourth year – so tuition is paid to UVM and financial aid comes only from UVM for the last two years. SMC scholarships do not carry over to UVM however UVM now has $12,000 in additional aid for qualifying out-of-state students each year.
Special Opportunities
Internship and Research Opportunities
Engineering students frequently find opportunities for summer internships or research experiences. Recent Engineering majors have held such positions at both SMC and UVM as well as in commercial businesses, and at government agencies such as NASA research centers.
Careers
Well-trained engineers are in demand for high-paying jobs in every area of specialization, whether civil, mechanical, electrical, environmental, chemical or others. Graduates of our program have a strong record of satisfying job placements and professional accomplishment.
