ABSTRACT

Within an undergraduate engineering curriculum, whether Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Chemical, and so on the Engineering Sciences constitute the core requirements for a degree. Courses in Thermodynamics, Electronics, Structural Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Controls, Heat Transfer, Materials Science, and the like are normally studied beginning the second year at university. Courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and now biology are generally required as prerequisites. This sequence has contributed to the notion that engineering science is but science applied.
