Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Integrated Engineering Studies] From Northwestern University

As organizational structures and names evolve to reflect new ideas and disciplines, the boundaries between sub-disciplines in engineering, and between engineering and other fields of studies (e.g., medicine, chemistry, physics, economics, earth science, and others) become less rigid.

Many career opportunities and advanced research efforts cross these boundaries and thus define new areas of application and study. Increasingly, key advances in both engineering science and its applications occur at or beyond traditional boundaries, at the intersections between engineering fields, and between engineering and other areas of expertise.

The Integrated Engineering Studies program serves McCormick students who want to learn different things in different ways. It allows well-prepared undergraduate engineers to work with faculty mentors to craft customized engineering studies programs that take them into new, perhaps uncharted, areas of study and career preparation.
