PART-TIME EVENING ENGINEERING

Engineering Index

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 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, 617.373.2154. The program coordinator is Joy Erb, MS.
