BE in Computer Engineering ENPMED Track^*

The School of Engineering offers an Engineering Pre-Med (ENPMED) track as part of all its undergraduate programs.

The fast advancements in the medical and health professions has exerted additional pressure on practitioners to acquire a better understanding of the underlying technologies. Due to the growing use of technologies for medicine and health, there is a growing interest among students who pursue medical degrees and health related degrees, to acquire a strong engineering background prior to joining medical and health-related professions. This need presents an opportunity for the SOE to bridge this gap by providing students with an option of acquiring a BE in engineering with a PreMed track, referred to herein as Engineering PreMED (ENPMED). ENPMED credits are integrated within each curriculum based on a different mix of credits depending on each degree program requirements.

The offered ENPMED track provides an opportunity for engineering students to apply to Medical School and pursue an MD degree, or pursue graduate studies in the biomedical and health related fields, or work in their chosen major after receiving their Bachelor of Engineering degree.

*While sitting for the MCAT entrance exams does not require candidates to have taken any particular liberal arts course, some questions may require knowledge of psychology and sociology. It is therefore recommended that students in the pre-med track take PSY201 Intro to Psychology and SOC201 Intro to Sociology to increase their chances of passing the MCAT. These courses do not count towards meeting the university requirements of Liberal Arts and Science Curriculum, and thus they will need to be taken above and beyond the required 12 credits of LASC electives.

Technical Electives (for students enrolled in Fall 2020 or later)

A COE student must take four different courses from COE tracks; the remaining two technical elective courses can be picked from any track (COE or ELE).
Courses not assigned to a track can count as either COE or ELE

Engineering Electives

Any of the following courses may count as Engineering Electives:

• GNE335 Intro. to Sustainable Engineering
• GNE340 Engineering Entrepreneurship
• GNE345 Civic Engagement for Engineers
• GNE430 Management Consulting for Engineers
• INE308 Stochastic OR models
• INE340 Advanced Statistics
• INE428 Project Management
• INE450 Simulation
• INE506 Decision Analysis
• INE529 Project Contracting
• CIE522 Environmental Impact Assessment
• CIE525 Environmental Policy and Management
• CIE526 Environmental Remediation
• CIE585 Risk and Natural Hazard Management

* Except for ELE305, ELE391 and COE312, any COE/ELE course can be considered as a technical elective as long as it is not a required course. COE599/ELE599 could be taken more than once for credit when topics differ.

Liberal Arts and Sciences Electives - 12 credits

1. For students entering the program in Fall 2022 or after, the 12 credits of Liberal Arts and Sciences Electives should be taken according to Curriculum Z as described below:

^*The ENPMED Track is neither a separate degree program nor a specialization within the degree program; it is rather the same engineering major(s) with the addition of the pre-med path. This path allows engineering students organized access to courses required for application to most medical schools while completing their accredited engineering degree.
