Bradley University College of Engineering and Technology
With approximately 5,000 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate students, Br adley
is the ideal size for living and learning. At the same time, the
College of Engineering and Technology has approximately 800 students
resulting in a small average class size of 24 students and a
student-to-faculty ratio is 14:1. Bradley's 321 full-time faculty are
both active researchers and committed teachers who provide
personalized attention in learning and academic advising. All courses
are taught by professors, not graduate assistants, and team projects
and collaboration are emphasized in every area of university life.
Bachelor's in Civil Engineering
Because of world-wide industrial growth over the past few decades,
structures and machines have become heavier and the social
responsibility of the civil engineer has increased. New dimensions
have been added to the challenges facing civil engineers: the economic
need to build more at lower cost, the political demand to build before
the technology is available, the legal liabilities of possible errors,
and environmental issues.
Bradley's civil engineering program meets these needs and challenges
in several ways. Required courses cover structural analysis, steel
design, concrete design, soil mechanics, foundations engineering,
environmental engineering, construction estimating and fluid
mechanics. You may select your elective courses to pursue additional
areas of interest in construction management and other engineering
fields.
Master of Science in Civil Engineering
The Department of Civil Engineering and Construction offers an MSCE
degree program that prepares graduates for thriving engineering
careers characterized by continued professional growth. Our graduates
have the talents and skills needed in a highly technical society
facing serious problems in the environment and infrastructure. Our
program will provide you with opportunities and challenges necessary
for a fruitful and successful career in the practice of civil
engineering and construction management. The faculty are renowned
worldwide and have published more textbooks (25) than any other civil
engineering or construction department of similar size in the United
States. Faculty and graduate students have received research grants
from Caterpillar Inc., state agencies, the National Science
Foundation, and other private and government sources.
Bachelor's in Environmental Engineering
The new environmental engineering program at Bradley is a
comprehensive one that addresses the national need for highly trained
environmental engineers. You will have the option of specializing in
either environmental or geo-environmental engineering. Our course
offerings cover areas of the environmental policy and regulations,
water treatment, wastewater treatment, solid and hazardous waste
management, industrial waste management, soil remediation, water
supply management and groundwater pollution control. These will ensure
you a solid background in all areas of environmental engineering which
will make you an asset for all recruiting firms and agencies in the
nation.
Bachelor's in Construction Engineering
The construction program at Bradley is unique and nationally
recognized. It is management oriented, not engineering oriented, which
gives you better training for supervising projects or managing a
company. Required courses include economics, accounting, construction
scheduling and estimating , mechanical and electrical systems for
buildings, construction equipment and methods, soils, structures,
technical writing, and senior projects, with electives in management,
business, and construction.
Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering
The electrical engineering program, including the computer option,
consists of several curricular components that give the student the
opportunity to build a solid foundation of basic physical principles
and obtain experience in design as well as insight into the profession
and practice of electrical engineering. The lecture sequence consists
mostly of required core courses through which the student learns about
and acquires problem solving and/or design skills in circuit analysis,
structured programming in C++, analog and digital electronics,
microprocessors, signals and systems, and electromagnetic fields.
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering
The curriculum is structured to give the graduate of the program a
balanced technical background in core areas of modern electrical
engineering and a significant experience in advanced design via a
thesis or a project. Students work closely with a faculty advisor in
tailoring an overall program best suited to their background and
interests. Course sequences, design projects, and research are
available in applied electromagnetics, communication theory, control
theory, digital systems and computers, electronics and microprocessor
applications, embedded systems, and signal processing. The ECE
Department has excellent computer and/or laboratory facilities to
support advanced studies in these areas.
Bachelor's in Industrial Engineering
Industrial Engineering is concerned with the design, improvement, and
installation of integrated systems. These systems may involve people,
materials, information, equipment, or energy. The work of industrial
engineers involves carefully analyzing and improving these systems.
IEs have a strong background in mathematical, physical, and social
sciences, as well as in engineering analysis and design. They also
learn many of the same principles studied in business school. With
preparation in both engineering and business, IE graduates have many
employment opportunities.
Master of Science in Industrial Engineering
The mission of the program is to develop in our graduates a strong
problem solving ability based upon a technical and scientific
foundation that treats production as a system and integrates the
various aspects of each system into a while, whether in manufacturing
or services. This ability will prepare graduates to pursue careers in
settings across a multitude of fields from health care and banking to
manufacturing and logistics as well as to seek advanced degrees in
related fields.
Bachelor's in Manufacturing Engineering and Manufacturing
Engineering Technology
Bradley’s bachelor’s degree programs in manufacturing engineering and
manufacturing engineering technology prepare world-class manufacturing
professionals. At Bradley you will learn an integrated approach to
solving manufacturing problems, taking a project from the concept
stage through design, analysis, manufacturing, and resource
scheduling.
Master of Science in Manufacturing Engineering
The mission of the program is to provide education to equip our
graduates with a strong technical and scientific foundation that
treats manufacturing as a system and integrates the areas of
manufacturing processes, engineering materials, product design,
automation and manufacturing management. The graduates will have the
necessary tools to pursue careers in settings that include automotive,
aerospace, heavy and light equipment manufacturers as well as to seek
advanced degrees in related fields.
Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering
At Bradley, class sizes are small and faculty and students become
closely associated during the educational process. Accordingly,
professional guidance and mentoring is assured and lasting friendships
develop. Standards are high, the atmosphere is intimate, and students
are challenged to achieve their full potential as engineers and
citizens. Through this hands-on experience they can develop into
engineers able to enjoy and contribute to the enhancement of the
quality of life.
Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
The main goal of the graduate program in mechanical engineering is to
strengthen the ability of the student to solve complex technological
problems in a creative way. To achieve this, the program of study is
designed to broaden the student's knowledge, to provide for in-depth
study in an area of concentration, and to complement theoretical study
with relevant and significant research and/or design. The student will
ordinarily concentrate in either the mechanical systems design area or
in the area of energy systems/thermosciences
