Smith College: Picker Engineering Program


	Home > Academics > Picker Engineering Program



All of us in the Picker Engineering Program have a common goal: educating engineers who address human needs through invention, resources and technology. We offer the degree in engineering science because, in the best Smith tradition, we believe that women engineers should think deeply and broadly about the effect their professional knowledge will have on the well-being of those whose trust they hold. The Picker Program is now offering a new degree - a B. A. in Engineering Arts. For more information click here (PDF).
