Program Overview

General Engineering (BS)

The General Engineering program allows students to approach engineering in an integrated manner that cuts across traditional boundaries of the profession and practice. The program provides a balance between breadth across the traditional engineering disciplines and depth in a thematic multi-disciplinary area.


Program Description

The thematic areas currently emphasized correspond to research themes within the division:


  • Cyber Security
  • Robotics
  • Urban Systems
  • Environmental Sustainability
  • BioMedical and Health Systems Students are encouraged to choose a specialization in one of the thematic areas. The engineering courses in the program related to the specialization consist of some required courses that explore the broad interdisciplinary basis of the area, followed by electives that provide depth in an aspect of the specialization.

Accreditation

The General Engineering program at NYU Abu Dhabi is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, and the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA). Graduates receive a Bachelor of Science degree.


Study Away

The study away pathway can be found on the NYUAD Student Portal. Students with questions should contact the Office of Global Education.

Foundations of Science Grading Policy

While each level of Foundations of Science is an integrated course, separate grades are provided for various components as a means to allow students to document their completion of the specific disciplinary and laboratory content that makes up these courses. Consistent with this integrated approach, students must earn an average grade of C for the components of each level of Foundations of Science to continue into the next level or to use the course to satisfy the prerequisites for other courses outside of Foundations of Science. Additionally, students majoring in biology, chemistry, or physics, must have grades of at least C in all Foundations of Science components in their specific, respective major fields. Finally, although continuation into other courses is based on the average performance in each level of Foundations of Science, students earn academic credits only for those graded components they pass or, for students subject to the transcript policy (see Academic Policies), only for those components with grades of at least C−. The number of earned credits for Foundations of Science components is particularly important for all engineering majors who must earn at least 16 credits in science.
