Civil Engineering What will you leave behind?  Civil engineers (CEs) leave behind changes that advance civilization – changes that affect us daily and at every level of our lives. From the moment we turn on the water to brush our teeth in the morning, to the buildings in which we work or learn, to the transportation systems that help us get back home, the structures and systems of CEs surround our lives.

Electrical Engineering Electrical engineers combine math, science, and computer skills with specialized engineering knowledge to research, design, and operate electrical products and systems that we rely on and have fun with in everyday life.  They are responsible for designing many parts in your computer, TV, cell phone, calculator, video gaming system, and car.  They help develop medical equipment, such as pacemakers and imaging equipment Learn More Department Website BS Electrical Engineering Degree Requirements Specialty Areas

Industrial Engineering Industrial engineers (IEs) are natural team leaders.  As people join together to accomplish something, Industrial Engineers help them do it better, safer, faster, and cheaper.  For this reason, IEs are often called systems integrators, or “big picture” engineers.  They orchestrate problem solving in all aspects, which improves the company as a whole.  IEs solve problems in many places, such as theme parks, hospitals, manufacturing plants, airline companies, and retail stores.

Mechanical Engineering The sound barrier was broken by a jet airplane in 1947, still within the lifetime of Orville Wright, the co-creator of controlled human flight.  In only 44 years, advancements in the aeronautics field made human flight not only possible, but common place, and paved the way for the exploration of space.  Much of this technology was a result of the research and work done by mechanical engineers.

Pre-Med Are you thinking about Medical School? Would you like a 9 out of 10 chance of getting into Medical School?  Why choose engineering as your pre-med path? Currently, 90% of engineers from the University of Arkansas who apply for medical school get accepted on their first try. The University of Arkansas has many research opportunities available, even ones with emphasis in the biomedical field that undergraduates can work on. It is hard to get into a prestigious medical school without some research experience, and all medical schools look highly upon it. If down the road, you choose not to go into the medical field, you will have many more job opportunities available to you with an engineering degree. Engineering graduates have a much higher average starting salary then graduates of many other degrees. Premed Requirements Premed Website
