Engineering

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.
Inside Look
Curriculum
Five Years, Two Degrees
Saint Michael’s offers a 3+2 engineering program 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)
