“The Dual Degree Program truly represents the synthesis we see in today’s world. Engineers not only solve challenging technical problems, but they also do so in key societal and business contexts. Dual Degree students develop both the contextual perspective of their liberal arts background and the analytical skills and domain knowledge of a focused engineering curriculum.
