Description

Trinity College in conjunction with the George Washington University and the University of Maryland offers a Dual Degree Program in mathematics/natural science and engineering in which students may pursue either mechanical engineering or a medical preparation option in mechanical engineering. After three years of academic study in a physical science or in mathematics at Trinity College, the student will apply for transfer to the George Washington University or the University of Maryland and complete two years of study in mechanical engineering with optional medical preparation. At the end of the five years, the undergraduate student in the program will earn a B.A. degree from Trinity College in physical science and a B.S. degree in engineering from the George Washington University or the University of Maryland.

Mechanical engineering encompasses a vast diversity of industrial activities. Mechanical engineers conceive, plan, design, and direct the manufacture, distribution, and operation of complex systems. Applications include aerospace, energy conversion, computer aided design and manufacturing, power and propulsion systems, robotics, and control systems.

The medical preparation option leads to a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering while preparing the student for application to medical school. The student is also prepared to work in research and development or to pursue graduate study in the fields of biomechanics and biotechnology.

Students interested in the Engineering Dual Degree Program should contact the Program Chair.
