General engineering

GENERAL ENGINEERING DEGREE: About the program | Faculty and staff | Accreditation


Learn how to apply science and math to design, construct, operate and maintain solutions to technical problems

 

A general engineering background provides you with an understanding of the core math, scientific and technical principles needed for engineering. You’ll learn about problem-solving, as well as gain teamwork, leadership and communications skills.

With a bachelor degree in engineering, you’ll be equipped for many engineering – and non-engineering – career paths. This could be as a project engineer, medical doctor, lawyer, military, business person and many other opportunities.

 What you’ll find at Ole Miss

In general engineering, you will get:

  • Broader horizon – you get the core engineering science principles plus the flexibility to widen your course selection outside of engineering.
  • Tailored program – you can choose an emphasis in business, manufacturing, pre-med, and ROTC studies – or one designed around your personal goals.
  • Exposure to different disciplines – you can take courses from multiple engineering departments to explore potential career paths.
