What is engineering?

About

Do you like to make things happen? Are you curious and a problem solver? Then a degree in engineering is for you. In a nutshell, engineering uses science and math to solve real-world problems. Engineers make advancements in everything from technology to infrastructure.

They don’t sit back and watch, but devise creative and innovative solutions to problems. There are six major branches of engineering: mechanical, civil, chemical, electrical, management, and geotechnical. But it doesn’t stop there: Each branch can be broken into subcategories like aerospace, industrial engineering, and many more for you to explore.

Why study Engineering 3+2 at Baker University?

The advantages are unmatched at Baker University with its small class sizes and low student-to-faculty ratio. As a student in our 3+2 preprofessional engineering program you’ll receive one-on-one attention from your professors during your first three years at Baker before moving on to a larger school.

Baker University’s engineering program offers a unique opportunity to earn a bachelor’s in science from Baker University and a degree from either the University of Kansas (KU) in Lawrence; Washington University (Wash U) in Saint Louis, Missouri; or the University of Missouri at Kansas City (UMKC). In addition, you will benefit from the career centers, alum networks, and other opportunities from both institutions.
