humanities and social sciences to meet college integrative requirements, and courses in math, chemistry, physics and computer science to fulfill major requirements and prepare for the engineering phase at CWRU and Pitt. A student who graduates from Thiel College with a major in binary engineering will: • understand the fundamental concepts of the physical world as they extend to mechanics, thermodynamics, optics, electromagnetism, relativity, atoms, the solid state and elementary particles. • be able to understand and analyze common technical applications of fundamental concepts in their respective engineering specialty. • understand the scientific method, in particular as it is applies to the physical sciences. • possess laboratory skills including the handling of instruments and apparatus, measuring techniques and data processing/analysis. • be proficient in word processing and at least one spreadsheet application for graphing and data analysis. • be aware of the human, ethical and environmental implications of the applications of technology. • possess logical and computational skills at an advanced calculus-based level. • possess additional skills and knowledge, acquired at CWRU or Pitt, in the respective engineering disciplines.
3-2 Program with Case Western Reserve University
Thiel offers a 3-2 binary engineering program in cooperation with Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) in Cleveland that combines the sciences and engineering with a broad liberal arts education. Two degrees are awarded upon successful completion of the five year program: a B.S. or B.A. from Thiel and a B.S. from CWRU. CWRU offers the B.S. degree in several areas such as aerospace, biomedical, chemical, civil, computer, computing and information science, electrical, engineering physics, fluid and thermal science, mechanical,
materials science, polymer science, systems, control and industrial engineering as well as a bachelor of science in engineering without designation. These programs may be modified from year to year; students need to contact their adviser for updates. CWRU requires a minimum GPA for transfer, depending on the specific program.
3-2 Program with University of Pittsburgh
Thiel offers a 3-2 binary engineering program in cooperation with the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) in Pittsburgh that combines the sciences and engineering with a broad liberal arts education. Two degrees are awarded upon successful completion of the five year program: a B.S. or B.A. from Thiel and a B.S. from Pitt. Pitt offers the B.S. degree in several areas such as bioengineering, chemical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering and engineering physics. These programs may be modified from year to year; students need to contact their adviser for updates. Pitt requires a minimum GPA of 2.8 to transfer for most programs. Pitt requires a minimum GPA for transfer, depending on the specific program.
