<p>facts about the department:
UC Davis Engineering:</p>
<pre><code>* is one of the largest undergraduate engineering programs in the UC system, with approximately 3300 undergraduate students
* has the largest number (ten) of ABET-accredited undergraduate engineering majors in the UC system
* has recently introduced two new majors: Optical Science and Engineering and Biomedical Engineering
* has a policy that all classes be taught by faculty members
* continuously revises its undergraduate curricula to meet student and industry needs
* participates in the campus internship program the largest internship program in the nation
* actively solicits the assistance of undergraduate students on faculty-student research teams, giving students opportunities for research experience early in their careers
* maintains a highly accessible system of peer, staff, and faculty advising, at both the departmental and the college levels
* has established a number of support services and organizations to assist students in their engineering majors and their adjustment to university life
* has embarked on a program of building and upgrading its facilities; the campus has committed $75 million to engineering facilities in the past six years, including a new $50 million building for teaching and research
* is the only UC campus located in a small, secure, college town, with miles of bicycle paths

<p>Current Undergraduate Students</p>
<p>Engineering is the profession in which the physical, biological, and social sciences are applied in a practical way for the benefit of mankind. As an engineering undergraduate, you will learn to observe and describe technological problems and to seek useful solutions to these problems.</p>
<p>Undergraduate students are admitted to sixteen engineering degree programs in Davis, including five formal double-major programs. These four-year programs all lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science.</p>
<pre><code>* Aeronautical Science and Engineering
* Biological Systems Engineering
* Biomedical Engineering
* Chemical Engineering
* Civil Engineering
* Computer Engineering
* Computer Science and Engineering
* Electrical Engineering
* Materials Science and Engineering
* Mechanical Engineering
* Biochemical Engineering
* Chemical Engineering/Materials Science and Engineering
* Civil Engineering/Materials Science and Engineering
* Electrical Engineering/Materials Science and Engineering
* Mechanical Engineering/Materials Science and Engineering
* Optical Science and Engineering

<p>*Check the Departments section for more information on their programs.</p>
<p>Within each curriculum, you may choose an area of specialization by selecting suitable elective courses. Enrollment in other combinations of engineering majors or in an engineering major and a non-engineering major may be possible, subject to change of major restrictions. Such double major students must satisfy the requirements for both majors. Degree requirements for such double majors ordinarily cannot be completed within four academic years.</p>
<p>The undergraduate program is divided into two parts. The first part (the lower-division program) is made up of mathematics, physics, chemistry, humanities, and biological and social science courses, as well as certain introductory engineering courses. The second part (the upper-division program) is made up of elective courses and a group of required technical courses pertinent to your major. Since practical engineering experience gained during your undergraduate years is also useful, you are encouraged to participate in engineering internship programs.</p>
<p>It takes more than four years of schooling to learn all you need to know about any profession. The objective of the undergraduate programs in engineering, therefore, is to form an appropriate foundation for your lifetime of learning. Extended learning after graduation (on-the-job experience, individual study, extension courses, or formal graduate study) is an essential part of an engineering education.</p>
<p>For information on graduate programs leading to the master of engineering, master of science, doctor of engineering, and doctor of philosophy degrees, or on graduate certificate programs, see the section on "Graduate Study in Engineering" in this Bulletin or contact the Engineering Graduate Office, 1042 John D. Kemper Hall.
