The Bachelor of Science in Engineering, a multidisciplinary engineering degree, prepares graduates for technology leadership in the 21st Century.

Students take core classes in;

  • mechanical design
  • materials
  • electronics
  • robotics
  • thermo-fluid dynamics
  • structural design
  • quality and technology management

Completion of a senior capstone design experience with industrial partners gives our students real-world experience and an excellent beginning to their portfolio.

Expertise enhancing electives are offered in the senior year in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Quality/Manufacturing Engineering, and Engineering Management.

Students prepared to take Calculus I or at least Pre-Calculus (or Algebra & Trigonometry) are ready to enroll in our engineering degree program.

Possible Careers

Why Study Engineering at WIU?

Our program of instruction emphasizes innovation, hands-on laboratories, excellent mentoring by faculty, low student to faculty ratios (generally 25 students or less), and portfolio building coursework. Freshman and sophomore classes are offered by our many community college partners in Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri.

Our degree can be completed in four years (121 semester hours) - depending on a student´s math preparation and Freshman/ Sophomore course offerings at the community colleges.

Instruction for the junior and senior years is delivered at Western´s Quad-Cities campus in the Caxton Block while the new campus at the Riverfront in Moline is being completed (Spring 2012 move-in).
