Unique Curriculum
Unlike university curricula, Wartburg’s Engineering Science program emphasizes breadth of background over narrow specialization. Engineering Science at Wartburg is designed to provide you with a unique combination of:

• technical expertise,
• mathematical and scientific skills, and
• a true liberal arts perspective.

Employers today are seeking engineers who are more than just technically competent. They are looking for graduates who can write and speak effectively, who are team players, and who can see the “big picture.” These are the kinds of engineers that Wartburg graduates.

Study Options
There are two ways you can take advantage of what Wartburg has to offer future engineers. Most students will choose to major in Engineering Science. This option is good for those who plan on graduate study, as well as those interested in employment that does not require immediate licensing. Others may choose the Dual Degree option, especially if immediate licensing is important.

Dual Degree
Wartburg offers a major in Engineering Science for those students interested in graduate study, non-specialized engineering positions, or technically-oriented non-engineering positions. (See the Engineering Science major in the Chemistry and Engineering Science Department PDF.)

In this option, the student attends Wartburg for three years and then transfers to an engineering program accredited by ABET. In order to be eligible for the Dual Degree option, the student must: complete 27 course credits at Wartburg, fulfill all Wartburg Plan requirements, and complete a major (other than Engineering Science). If all these conditions are met, upon receiving their B.S. in engineering from their transfer institution, the student will be eligible to receive their B.A. from Wartburg. This option is most advantageous for students that wish to be eligible for licensing upon graduation.

For more information on this option contact Dr. Dan Black.
