The engineer and IT professional of the future will be multidimensional. To educate these new professionals, UMBC has built a College around a dynamic exciting, personal process. It starts in freshman year when hands-on laboratory experience gives shape and substance to the earliest lessons in engineering and information technology. It continues throughout the curriculum. Feedback from industry, government, and alumni helps ensure that students are gaining advanced skills in the latest technologies and discovering where solutions are needed most.
The College of Engineering and Information Technology offers undergraduate degree programs in several engineering and information technology areas.
Our bachelor of science degrees in Chemical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission and the Computing Accreditation Commission of Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), 111 Market Place Suite 1050, Baltimore Maryland 21202-4012; Phone: 410-347-7700.
In addition to the technical skills obtained in specific chosen majors, several non-technical skills will help to make an engineering career more successful and rewarding. Please review “What You Need To Know…” [PDF] to learn more about these skills.

UMBC Undergraduate Programs in Engineering & Information Technology
We encourage you to explore the many programs and opportunities available to undergraduate engineering students at UMBC. Get started by visiting the websites listed below.
Chemical & Biochemical Engineering (B.S., B.S./M.S.)
From creating new vaccines and antibiotics to cleaning up air and water pollution, chemical engineers develop manufacturing processes for a wide variety of applications, including food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, biotechnology and environmental technology. Learn more.
Computer Science & Electrical Engineering (B.S., B.S./M.S.)
Computer science and electrical engineering undergraduates have access to advanced research laboratories, studying computer graphics, networking, software agents, information retrieval, photonics, and digital signal processing. Learn more.
Information Systems (B.S., B.S./M.S.)
UMBC’s undergraduate information systems programs strive for interdisciplinary breadth by including course in mathematics and statistics, computer programming, management, economics, and technical writing. Learn more.
Mechanical Engineering (B.S., B.S./M.S.)
Undergraduates in mechanical engineering begin by studying the “classics”—solid mechanics, thermodynamics, and dynamics and control. Then they explore such new areas as energy systems, biomechanics, robotics, and computer-aided design. Learn more.
