eginning this fall, St. Olaf College will offer a new concentration in Engineering Studies.
The concentration will enable students to explore their interest in engineering and prepare for graduate work in the field. Students will learn the fundamental pillars that support successful engineers, including training in mathematics, science, and designing solutions to complex problems.
With this concentration, St. Olaf is rolling out four new engineering courses over the next three years in addition to the existing coursework the college already offers in engineering. These new courses include Thermodynamics and Computer Aided Engineering, in which students will develop skills that can be used in a variety of engineering fields.
St. Olaf Assistant Professor of Physics Alden Adolph says the college’s strong math and computer science average salary, as well as the applied coursework in engineering already offered on campus, prepared a number of past graduates to pursue careers in all fields of engineering. The Engineering Studies concentration will build on that.
“With the addition of this concentration, we expect our students to be even better prepared for graduate work in engineering, to build cohorts of students and a community of new engineers, and to make the path toward a career in engineering clear from day one,” she says. “The new courses introduced will mean that students will be ready to dive into graduate-level engineering courses right away after graduation.”
