You
won't have graduate student instructors or study theories for months before you apply them. Smith
engineers learn how engineering science principles are applied to design and practice through
hands-on, project-based learning. When you have questions, professors are accessible to share
ideas and suggest new approaches. Our engineers say that extensive access to faculty is one of
the most valuable aspects of the program.
Over half of the engineering faculty, including the director, are successful
women engineers, so it's easy to see yourself in the profession. You'll meet other smart women
who chose Smith for its educational excellence.
You'll have the opportunity to work on faculty research projects and develop your own summer internship, which may be spent in a major corporation, laboratory or government agency. In your senior year, you and your team, together with a professional sponsor, develop and deliver a final design clinic project that unites engineering science and practice with broad-based societal issues.
Smith's
B.S. in engineering science means you learn the fundamentals of several engineering disciplines
so you can make an informed choice about your future. Smith's a great place to gain global
perspectives. The engineering program is integrated with our extensive liberal arts curriculum
and all the resources of a top-tier institution, including our outstanding science programs,
hundreds of courses, and the opportunity to study abroad.
Social responsibility is part of everything we do because we
are committed to sustainability—it's essential to the world's future. Engineering faculty and
students work with departments throughout the college to develop information and implement practices
that improve the college's efforts at lowering its impact on the environment and making constant progress
toward sustainability.
