<p>“Engineering Science graduates may establish careers in engineering or science, interface with engineers (e.g. in marketing and sales), or use their analytical and problem-solving skill to build future professional careers. Individual programs have been developed for students interested in careers in engineering mathematics, environmental engineering, transportation engineering, business administration, teaching, technical communications, hospital administration, and other areas requiring nontraditional combinations of engineering courses.”</p>

<p>I graduated Vandy engineering in 2010 (I’m now in their grad program), and I can honestly say that every engineering science major I knew either (a) started out in a specific engineering discipline and had a tough time (engineering science allows you to skip out on the “upper level” classes in a discipline, and instead take a variety of the lower-level classes in multiple engineering departments), or (b) were in A&S or Peabody and did engineering science as a second major. I can’t think of a single person who came in freshman year wanting that major…just some food for thought.</p>

<p>I graduated in 2009 and most of the Engineering Science majors I knew where as LittleLostFlute describes. However, I know a few who did start out on the track. It’s a good degree and as you can see from alumni, can get you a good job.</p>

<p>Actually I want to start up. Is it a good major to start up a new company ?</p>
