Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering (STEM)

at University of New Haven USA

The structure of our society – roads, bridges, tunnels, railroads, dams, and airports – all depend on the skill of civil engineers. To a large extent, so does the health, safety, and welfare of the individuals in that society. In fact, civil engineers have saved more lives, through clean water and sanitation systems, than all of the doctors in history.

In the University of New Haven’s B.S. in civil engineering program, students participate in a multi-disciplinary curriculum that combines mathematics, science, communication, humanities, and social science with a broad base of civil engineering technologies.

The result? You develop the well-rounded perspective that’s critical to the modern-day engineer. Through this program, you will also:

• Narrow your focus by choosing a specialty in structural, geotechnical, environmental, or water-resources engineering
• Design and conduct experiments, then analyze and interpret the data
• Study project management, city planning, transportation, and surveying
• Learn to design systems, components and processes to meet needs and comply with economic, environmental, social, political, and ethical constraints
• Be able to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
• Understand the impact of engineering in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
• Learn from practical and laboratory experience
• Gain experience through at least one internship
• Develop skills in entrepreneurship, marketing, and business
• Use the most sophisticated, high-tech products in the field, including GPS, GIS, CAD, and task-specific computer software

As a student in the University of New Haven’s Master of Arts program in industrial/organizational psychology, you will bring psychological principles to the workplace to benefit both employees and employers.

Through this interdisciplinary major, you’ll take courses in political science, economics, national security, legal studies, and history, studying conflict, development, and diplomacy. You will examine the resolutions of international conflicts, the role of inequality as a cause of conflict – and a critical component of its resolution – and explore post-conflict peace-making. You’ll do all this while learning from professors who have extensive international experience.

As an International Affairs major, you will also:

• Explore post-conflict reconstruction, foreign policy, and the international political economy
• Focus your studies on regions of rapid social change and economic development
• Study the necessity of sustainable socio-political systems

As a chemical engineer, you will transform matter or energy into forms that benefit human beings. You might design clean energy solutions, do research and development in pharmaceuticals, or create new ways to feed the world’s growing population.

The foundation you will build in chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics – and your collaborations involving engineering disciplines such as computer science, and mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering – will prepare you to rise to the challenges that face both the modern-day chemical engineer and the world. Those challenges — hallmarks of the early 21st century — include environmental integrity, limited resources, and human safety.

As a Chemical Engineering major at the University of New Haven, you will:

• Learn to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems

• Design and conduct experiments in state-of-the-art laboratories, then analyze and interpret data
• Master modern techniques, skills, and engineering tools
• Design systems, components, and processes to meet specific needs and comply with realistic economic, environmental, social, ethical, and political restraints
• Learn the fundamentals of thermodynamics, reactor design, process controls, and fluid dynamics
• Pursue research projects in conjunction with University of New Haven faculty
• Personalize coursework and focus in specific areas, such as biotechnology and environmental engineering
• Gain hands-on experience through lab experience, internships, and study abroad opportunities
• Participate in a Senior Design course, where you will complete a team project using current chemical engineering technology
• Have the opportunity to join on-campus clubs and organizations, including University of New Haven chapters of the American Chemical Society and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers as well as the Forensic Science and Chemistry Club

Unlike the traditional model of medicine, which is centered on diagnosing and treating illness in individual patients, those in the field of public health focus on the prevention of disease in the general public and on educating them to improve wellness.

Those who enter this field must be able to think strategically about the many forces that impact public health — the environment, relationships, and education, to name just a few. They must also be prepared to lead, boldly rising to the challenges, rigors, and changes that define public health and health systems in the 21st century.

Our B.S. in Public Health program prepares students to enter this field by providing them with a foundation in epidemiology, biostatistics, social and behavioral sciences, healthcare administration, and environmental health as well as the strategic thinking, administrative, planning, data collection and analysis, and communication skills that employers value highly and which lay the foundation for a lifetime of career success.

The Core Competency Areas That Define Your Degree — and What You Can Offer Employers

Upon completion of the program, you will have gained competency in five areas of public health:

• Evidence-based approaches to public health
• Public health and healthcare systems
• Policy in public health
• Planning and management to promote health
• Leadership, communication, and Interprofessional practice

Students must complete a total of 126 credits to earn the bachelor of science degree in computer engineering. Humanities or social science electives must be selected to fulfill the University Core Curriculum requirements, and students must complete the internship requirement.

Technical electives are 3000-level or higher CSCI or ELEC courses that fit into the student’s plan of study and are approved by the academic adviser. One technical elective may be taken outside the specified areas with the approval of the academic adviser. In the final year of study the student takes a two-semester senior design sequence, CMPE 4497 and CMPE 4498. In the first semester the student selects a topic, completes a literature search, and commences the design process. In the second semester, the student completes the design, implements the project, and presents the results.

The following list shows the sequence of courses that a student should follow to complete the program in four years.
