Interdisciplinary Engineering and Applied Science

专业详情

Through IDEAS: Interdisciplinary Engineering & Applied Science, undergraduates propose their own curricula, or use approved curricula, to create specialized Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) degrees.

To participate, engineering students (in consultation with an independent-study advisor and appropriate faculty members) propose unique combinations of courses designed to meet their career objectives.

• IDEAS curricula are not specifically accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, but do satisfy the national general engineering accreditation criteria
• A student’s independent-study advisor need not also be the student’s academic advisor
• Duke rules for credit for Advanced Placement (AP) and International Placement apply

Students must submit proposals to the Engineering Faculty Council, through the Office of the Engineering Dean, for approval.

A proposal may be submitted as early as the second semester of the first year, but must be submitted before the senior year
