Part-Time Evening Engineering

The Part-Time Engineering Program is designed to meet the needs of individuals who must combine full-time work responsibilities with part-time evening study. This six-year, part-time evening curriculum leads to a degree of Bachelor of Science in civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering. Admissions and course requirements are identical to the full-time, five-year cooperative degree programs. For an application and more information contact the Student Services Office, 220 Snell, 617.373.2185. The program coordinator is Caryn Vigoda, MEd.

All programs follow the same curriculum for years one and two.
