111 credits

Introduction

The Bachelor of Science degree program in industrial technology-vehicle design prepares graduates to solve open-ended challenges in vehicle design, composites, manufacturing and alternative fuels. The program uses vehicle research, design and development projects to educate students. Over 40 vehicles have been built since 1972. Since 1989, developing hybrid and solar vehicle technology has been a focus of the program. Graduates have entered a wide range of industry sectors including: automotive, racing industries, aerospace, marine, heavy duty vehicle, composites, prototype design and manufacturing, computer numerically controlled machining and biofuels. Students gain an understanding of the tools, materials and processes used in industry.

Admission and Declaration Process

Admission to the vehicle design program is a two-phase process. Students may declare a Phase I vehicle design pre-major. In phase I, majors complete ETEC 112, 113, 280, 281, MATH 124 and PHYS 121. Entrance to Phase II is competitive and is based on performance in Phase I. 

Grade Requirements
