The School of Engineering offers four Bachelor of Science degree programs in Engineering at the Quad Cities campus. Although the freshman and sophomore years can be completed at the WIU Macomb campus or at a community college, all four years of all degrees can be completed at the Quad Cities campus. Students must take their junior and senior engineering courses at the Quad Cities campus. Transfer students (i.e., from schools other than Western Illinois University) have special requirements. Please consult the Transfer Students paragraphs for additional details.

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines. Our ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree program builds upon a foundation of solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics. The degree offers areas of emphasis in Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Robotics Engineering. Starting this year, we are offering a new elective in Additive Manufacturing — 3D printing for all three emphases.

Electrical Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree program deals with the study of electricity, analog and digital electronics, electromagnetism, signal processing, and control theory. Students completing the requirements of this degree will also earn a minor in Mathematics.

Civil Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree program deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of physical structures and modifications to our natural environment that are the foundation of our modern society. Our Civil Engineering degree requires students to complete studies in four sub-disciplines: Geotechnical, Structural, Transportation, and Water Resources Engineering.

Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering is an ABET-accredited multidisciplinary engineering degree designed to prepare graduates for professional practice and leadership in the 21st century. Students take classes in mechanics, materials, electronics, and quality, depending on their emphasis field. The two areas of emphasis offered are General Engineering and Industrial Engineering.

All Engineering programs emphasize innovation, hands-on laboratories, small, intimate classroom settings, mentoring by faculty, and thinking-outside-the-box solutions.

The School of Engineering has the only public Bachelor of Science engineering degree programs in the Quad Cities region, and as such, provides our students many unique opportunities to work with industry through paid internship programs and senior design projects. Please see our website for details.

Additionally, students can participate in many entrepreneurial high-technology development projects through the Quad Cities Manufacturing Laboratory at the Rock Island Arsenal.

All Engineering degrees require completion of 120 semester hours and can be finished in four years, depending on the student’s preparation in mathematics.

Entrepreneurial Engineering, Innovation, and Leadership are the hallmarks of this School!

Transfer Students

There are two primary paths for transfer students to enter the program: 1) transfer from a two- or four-year institution, or 2) through the Linkages program, where students co-register with WIU Engineering and a partner college.

Transfer students seeking admission to any engineering program must satisfy general University admissions requirements. Advanced placement credit for 18 hours of select lower-division Engineering courses from a community college or from a non-ABET accredited Engineering program will be provisionally granted providing the following is true: 1) the student earned a minimum grade of “C” or above (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) for completed courses that are deemed equivalent as determined by the School of Engineering, 2) the courses conform with IAI standards, and 3) the student completes the first 9 semester hours of 300-level Engineering courses with a “C” or above. Final advanced placement credit will be granted upon proof of passing the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam. Please contact the School of Engineering with any questions.

Students seeking transfer credit for required engineering, mathematics, and science courses must have earned a grade of C or better in all such courses to receive full credit (see degree requirements).
