Master of Science

Master of Science in Engineering Science


MS Engineering Science

Pacific's planned master's degree program will allow students to begin graduate course work during their senior year at Pacific and complete both degrees in a total of five years! For most students, undergraduate scholarships and other types of financial aid will continue through this fifth year of studies.



Bachelor of Science Degree Programs



Bioengineering
This degree incorporates biological science course work with an electrical, computer or mechanical engineering-based curriculum. Options upon graduation are wide-ranging and include immediate work in the bioengineering industry or graduate studies in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy and bioengineering.





Civil Engineering
This degree offers concentrations including environmental, construction, structural and water resources engineering. Graduates work with private consulting firms, construction companies, large corporations, governmental agencies, research establishments and universities.





Computer Engineering

Computer engineers apply basic engineering skills - math, physics and electrical circuits - and the fundamentals of computer programming and software design to construct new computer hardware and devices which are built around computers such as automotive controls, cell phones, PDAs and desktop computers. If you love all aspects of computers - hardware and software - then diverse career opportunities await you in manufacturing, transportation, communication, research, education and management.










Computer Science

This degree offers concentrations including networks and security, software development, games and simulation, information systems, foundations and computational modeling. Computer scientists create algorithms and write computer programs that help other people do their work more efficiently, understand scientific phenomena and make new discoveries that were not possible before the computer age. As a result, industry demand for computer scientists is strong and on the rise.





Electrical Engineering

This degree includes courses and laboratories in circuits, electronics, digital design, signal processing, microprocessors and electric power. Electrical engineers helped invent a wide range of devices such as the computer, cellular phones, CT scanners, microchips and solar panels. They are employed in a number of sectors, including telecommunications, electric power and energy, semiconductors, computers, biomedical devices and aerospace.





Engineering Management
This degree prepares students for the planning, organization, scheduling, monitoring, and control of engineering processes through an engineering curriculum incorporating selected course work outside engineering (for example: business, international studies, and economics). Graduates are well prepared for leadership positions in project management, technical marketing, systems engineering, construction management and manufacturing engineering.





Engineering Physics
This degree is designed to teach practical problem solving from a foundation in physics and mathematics, combined with a basic training in engineering and design. Engineering physicists are often involved in the development of new devices and products using sophisticated physical concepts. Engineering physicists work in areas such as energy conversion, solid state devices, elementary particles, nano-scale structures, optics and electromagnetic radiation.





Mechanical Engineering
This degree allows majors in mechanical systems (applied mechanics) or energy systems (thermal sciences) to prepare for positions in product development, plant design, machine design, basic and applied research, environmental control, materials and manufacturing, robotics or technical sales.




Minor Programs



Computer Science
Designed to introduce students to object technology, networking, computer systems and environments and databases.



Engineering Management
Designed for engineering majors interested in developing management skills for the workplace and/or owning a business in the future.




International Engineering
Focusing on engineering in the global economy, this minor includes proficiency in a foreign language (at the second semester level) and internationally oriented course work.




Technology
As "technology" has become so prevalent in our lives and careers, more and more companies are demanding that their employees have a working knowledge in such areas as design, graphics, communications, hardware and software advances. This minor focuses on developing these areas for both technical and non-technical students in such a way to make them more attractive to employers.




Sustainability
Focusing on the short and long-term social, economic, and environmental impacts of our actions, products, and policies; this minor includes coursework in engineering, international studies, earth and environmental sciences, economics, philosophy and business.
