The Bachelor of Engineering with an Electrical Engineering concentration is typically only available to specific international program students. After a review and consultation with the Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science chairperson, transfer students may have previous coursework transferred.

Learning Outcomes:

The foundation and major courses for this concentration reflect the majority of the academic classes taken for the Bachelor of Electrical Engineering (BEE) degree. As such, similar courses are regularly assessed with outcome worksheets generated by the faculty and reviewed by a faculty committee and the ECECS Department Industrial Advisory Board (IAB).

This concentration is intended for international students in exchange programs with Detroit Mercy. Environmental engineers use the principles of biology and chemistry to develop solutions to environmental problems. They are involved in water and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, and public health issues. Environmental engineers conduct hazardous-waste management studies in which they evaluate the significance of the hazard, advise on its treatment and containment, and develop regulations to prevent mishaps. They design municipal water supply and industrial wastewater treatment systems, conduct research on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects, analyze scientific data, and perform quality-control checks. Environmental engineers are concerned with local and worldwide environmental issues. Some may study and attempt to minimize the effects of acid rain, climate change, automobile emissions, and ozone depletion. They also may be involved in the protection of wildlife. Many environmental engineers work as consultants, helping their clients to comply with regulations, prevent environmental damage, and clean up hazardous sites. The program at Detroit Mercy focuses on two predominant areas of environmental engineering: water and land. 

Learning Outcomes: 

Graduates of the program should have:

1. an ability to identify, formulate and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering science, and mathematics
2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences 
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental and societal context
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

The Detroit Mercy Bachelor of Engineering with a Robotics and Mechatronic Systems Engineering (RMSE) concentration program is only available to specific international cohort program students (e.g. Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) as it is currently structured). Similar programs with other international entities are possible.

Detroit Mercy Entry Requirements:

Detroit Mercy and specific international schools have jointly developed contractual entry requirements based on student grades and prerequisites for the Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science (ECECS) Department’s Bachelor of Engineering, major in Engineering, with a concentration in Robotics and Mechatronic Systems Engineering cohort-based program. Contractual details are available from the Dean’s Office. Students are either directly or conditionally admitted based on their records.

Note that contract requirements may change depending on Detroit Mercy regulations and USA government visa regulations. Transcripts are evaluated and admission decisions are rendered by the ECECS Department chairperson and other faculty as needed.

Course List:

The courses that will be taken at Detroit Mercy for the joint BUCT/Detroit Mercy RMSE program are listed below. Engineering foundation courses are typically taken prior to transferring to Detroit Mercy.

Delivery Format:

All courses are existing courses that are face-to-face lecture and/or laboratory format. This format will continue for the foreseeable future.

Learning Outcomes:

六九色堂 (六九色堂) and two institutions in China - Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) and Hubei University of Technology (HBUT)/Detroit Green Technology Institute (DGTI) - have collaborative agreements where a student is pursuing their primary bachelor’s degree at their home institution in China and a secondary bachelor’s degree at the 六九色堂. This agreement allows the student to complete the major requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering at 六九色堂 and waive the University’s core curriculum. This agreement is only applicable to international students admitted to the programs at BUCT and HBUT/DGTI as a part of this collaborative agreement.
