Engineers are creative problem-solvers who help shape the future. No profession unleashes the spirit of innovation like engineering.
The ABET-accredited BSE engineering program prepares graduates to collaborate across disciplines to design and build solutions to real-world problems. In the Bachelor of Science in Engineering program, students apply fundamental engineering knowledge and design thinking to real projects every semester.
Students in the humanitarian engineering concentration first build a broad engineering foundation to which they add the skills and knowledge necessary to adapt water and energy systems to local and developing-world needs. They work with ASU's Global Resolve organization to learn to identify and implement appropriate technological and cultural solutions. Graduates of the concentration will be positioned to work on transdisciplinary teams addressing vital engineering needs of communities in the developing world. They have real-world experience with the challenges and opportunities inherent in this environment and impact lives by solving real problems.

ASU is committed to helping students thrive by offering tools that allow personalization of the transfer path to ASU. Students may use MyPath2ASU® to outline a list of recommended courses to take prior to transfer.
ASU has transfer partnerships in Arizona and across the country to create a simplified transfer experience for students. These pathway programs include exclusive benefits, tools and resources, and they help students save time and money in their college journey.
With over 250 programs in more than 65 countries (ranging from one week to one year), study abroad is possible for all ASU students wishing to gain global skills and knowledge in preparation for a 21st-century career. Students earn ASU credit for completed courses, while staying on track for graduation, and may apply financial aid and scholarships toward program costs. https://mystudyabroad.asu.edu/
Engineers collaborate on transdisciplinary teams to design, manufacture and deliver innovative technological products and services. The Bachelor of Science in Engineering program enables students to develop sophisticated technical skills in tandem with the professional skills of communication, teamwork and collaboration, and self-motivation and adaptability that many employers seek. The humanitarian engineering concentration prepares students for graduate school in civil engineering, sustainability and development; it also prepares students for careers in general engineering applications, disaster relief and aid, and nongovernmental organization development work both in the U.S. and globally. The program's emphasis on open-ended design and project-based learning supports the development of entrepreneurial skills and attitudes, and some students start companies of their own.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the "New Programs" option.
ASU Online offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. See https://asuonline.asu.edu/ for more information.
