Program Requirements

Program credit weight: 120-127 credits

The Bachelor of Global Engineering is designed to provide a combination of hard, technical skills in science and engineering, combined with soft, non-technical skills in the humanities, business/management, and languages. The program focuses on: 1) a strong foundation in mathematics, and all three principal scientific disciplines (physics, chemistry and biology), and 2) specialized engineering training in one of nine streams (Breadth, Biological, Chemical, Civil, Data Science, Electrical, Entrepreneurship, Materials and Mechanical). Moreover, the program is offered, by design, in an international setting (two years at CentraleSup茅lec in France, and two years at 成人VR视频 in Canada), to provide training in the solution of complex scientific/engineering problems that can be undertaken in interdisciplinary teams, in global settings.
