Integrative Engineering

This program offers students the opportunity to study in emerging and interdisciplinary fields of engineering, including bioengineering, environment & energy, and robotics, and to develop systems thinking skills. Students that successfully complete the program will graduate with a B.S. degree in Integrative Engineering.

Modern socio-technical issues and challenges increasingly require solutions that bridge the traditional disciplinary boundaries of engineering and connect to other fields across the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Recognizing this fact, the Engineering Division at Lafayette worked collaboratively to develop a fifth B.S. program that would provide opportunities for students to focus on cross-disciplinary areas of engineering. The Integrative Engineering (IntE) program enables students to develop expertise and skills in systems methods and apply those skills to an area of focus at the intersection of the traditional engineering disciplines.

Students in this program are required to have a focus area in Bioengineering, Environment & Energy, or Robotics.
