: Bachelor's degree : Engineering, BSE TSEGRBSE : Full time : 48 MonthRequirements
Academic requirements
First-year students must:
- Have a 3.00 grade point average (GPA) (a "B" or better where "A"=4.00) from a secondary school. Some ASU programs may have higher admission or English proficiency requirements and may consider a minimum ACT or SAT score.
- Must have three years of high school coursework. (If you are currently in high school, ASU needs to see 9–11 grade coursework. If you have completed high school, ASU needs to see 10–12 grade coursework.)
- Must have and present a completed high school diploma or certificate.
Conditional admission
ASU may offer conditional undergraduate admission to international applicants to an on-campus program who meet the academic (aptitude) requirements but who are not proficient in English. This offer of conditional admission will give you time to improve your English proficiency before you start classes at ASU. Your conditional admission offer is good for up to three semesters, during which time you must meet one of these requirements to begin your ASU experience.
Competency requirements
International students who completed high school outside the U.S. are required to meet the following competency requirements:
- Math: four years (algebra I, geometry, algebra II and one course requiring algebra II as a prerequisite).
- Laboratory science: three years total (one year each from any of the following areas are accepted: biology, chemistry, earth science, integrated sciences and physics).
Provide evidence of English language proficiency (TOEFL 61)
Speciality
This program may be eligible for an Optional Practical Training extension for up to 24 months. This OPT work authorization period may help international students gain skills and experience in the U.S. Those interested in an OPT extension should review ASU degrees that qualify for the STEM-OPT extension at ASU's International Students and Scholars Center website.
The OPT extension only applies to students on an F-1 visa and does not apply to students completing a degree through ASU Online.
Additional information
Program description
The BSE program in engineering prepares graduates to collaborate across disciplines in order to design and build solutions to real-world problems.
In the Bachelor of Science in Engineering program, students apply engineering fundamental knowledge and design thinking to real projects every semester. They choose a disciplinary concentration that enables them to develop in-depth knowledge in a specific area, and they choose a secondary focus area. This flexibility allows students to tailor their degree in a way that will help them to achieve their individual career and life goals. The program enables students to develop sophisticated technical skills in tandem with the professional skills of communication, teamwork, collaboration, self-motivation and adaptability, and the program's emphasis on open-ended design and project-based learning supports the development of entrepreneurial skills and attitudes.
Students can choose from the following concentrations: automotive systems, electrical systems, mechanical engineering systems and robotics.
Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET; https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Engineering, General Engineering, Engineering Physics, and Engineering Science Program Criteria.
This major is eligible for the Western Undergraduate Exchange program at the following location: Polytechnic campus. Students from Western states who select this major and campus may be eligible for reduced nonresident tuition at a rate of 150% of Arizona resident tuition plus all applicable fees.
Concurrent program options
Students pursuing concurrent degrees (also known as a “double major”) earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. Working with their academic advisors, students can create their own concurrent degree combination. Some combinations are not possible due to high levels of overlap in curriculum.
Global opportunities
Global experience
Study abroad enables students to gain valuable, resume-building experience. Participation in a Global Education program provides students with the heightened cultural competency, and leadership and critical thinking skills that will help them stand out in a competitive industry.
Whether in a foreign country, in the U.S. or online, students build communication skills, are challenged to adapt and persevere, are exposed to research and internships across the world, and increase their professional network.
Career opportunities
Engineers on transdisciplinary teams collaborate to design, manufacture and deliver innovative technological products and services.
Graduates are prepared to work in large corporations, government agencies and small businesses, and to go on to graduate school to pursue advanced degrees. Some graduates start companies of their own.
