Coming in the Fall of 2025

Once limited to large, centralized mainframe systems, computing devices are now ubiquitously embedded in all aspects of society. As a result, the field of computer engineering has evolved from a niche intersection of computer science and electrical engineering to a well-recognized discipline of its own.

Computer engineers design, develop, and test computing systems.  These systems range from embedded computers found in appliances and automobiles to hardware found in autonomous and robotic systems, to networks, to supercomputers.  The necessity to prepare students for this field is further supported by the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, which is providing over $50B for American research, development, manufacturing, and workforce development to advance the nation's leadership in computing technologies.

UVM’s Minor in Computer Engineering will provide students with a unique and exciting opportunity to explore this important and timely field in depth. This 15-credit hour minor is being collaboratively offered by UVM’s Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering programs.

The Bachelor's of Science (B.S.) degree in Engineering is a non-departmental degree designed for students who want a strong engineering science base in preparation for an interdisciplinary engineering specialty. Engineering graduates need a vast amount of knowledge to deal with the world's environmental concerns as well as our technological and information revolution; the B.S. in Engineering gives students the opportunity to obtain a very broad foundational knowledge of engineering.

Requirements

Degree candidates need to fulfill courses required in the core program, with 122 semester hours of credit. A minimum of 7 courses in Technical Electives must be chosen from courses at the 100 level or above. A minimum of 18 credits of Technical Electives must be engineering courses.

How to Register

Students who wish to register for this degree should meet with their advisor to plan an integrated series of courses directed towards possible engineering concentrations such as: aeronautical engineering, bioengineering, chemical engineering, computer engineering, power engineering, traffic engineering, geological engineering, and so on.

The ability to design, produce, sell and service quality products in today's marketplace requires managers who understand engineering principles as well as possess the skills to manage technical projects and professionals.

The Engineering Management program is designed to give undergraduates a solid engineering base coupled with a business preparation that will enable them to fill dynamic managerial roles in technical industries.

Jointly sponsored by the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences (CEMS) and the Grossman School of Business, the Engineering Management program draws on a broad range of faculty expertise and study opportunities.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of our Engineering Management program find rewarding opportunities in a wide variety of positions, including consulting, systems design, production supervision, project management, process engineering, quality assurance, technical sales, production planning and control, systems analysis, and inventory management.

Companies hiring UVM graduates in recent years include IBM, General Dynamics, United Parcel, Champlain Cable, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Energizer, Boston Scientific, Kellogg Co., SolarWorks, Pizzagalli Construction, Utility Risk Management, GeneSic, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon.

Our Program

Throughout the curriculum, students learn to apply engineering and business principles to immediate and evolving 21^st century problems in manufacturing and service organizations. They develop a foundation to successfully manage people, systems and projects. They also develop an area of emphasis by choosing Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical Engineering in which to concentrate.

The procurement of sustainable energy is one of the major challenges facing humanity in the twenty-first century. The Sustainable Energy Engineering minor is therefore designed for undergraduate, engineering students who are interested in applying their knowledge of engineering fundamentals, analysis, and sustainable design principles to clean energy generation and efficient utilization. Students will gain a foundational understanding of energy technologies and the energy industry, including technological, policy, and economic considerations related to sustainable energy. This minor crosses multiple engineering disciplines and will give our students pursuing accredited disciplinary engineering degrees an added interdisciplinary credential toward pursuing careers in sustainable energy fields. 

Requirements

Completion of the minor requires 14 credit hours of core requirements plus 6 credit hours of electives. The minor takes advantage of current required and elective coursework contributing to the engineering majors. Therefore, most engineering students should be able to complete the minor by adding 3-7 credits beyond their major requirements.

Program Overview

Computer-Aided Engineering Technology (CAET) is the term for an evolving set of computer-based tools used for the development, communication, and evaluation of product and building designs. The Undergraduate Certificate in CAET will provide students with a critical skill set identified by industry and government at both the state and national levels. Core classes provide students with a solid foundation in computerized automation techniques, three-dimensional form and location geometry. Elective courses facilitate a focus into specific sub-disciplines.
