There are two areas of specialization in the Engineering Science BS. They are: Computer Engineering Specialization (CES) and Mechanical Engineering Specialization (MES).
Transfer Program
Students who have graduated with a two-year Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in one of the engineering technologies can be admitted to the BS degree program. Their previous courses are evaluated, and they are usually required to take such bridging courses as course Physics for Engineers and course Introduction to Scientific Computing, as well as additional mathematics courses.
The requirements for the transfer program are identical to those given above for the BS in Engineering Science.
Requirements
In Residence at the College of Staten Island
Liberal Arts and Sciences Content Courses
*22 credits required for the Major also satisfy general education requirements.

Students who enter the College with fewer than six credits are required to complete the non-credit College Life Unit Experience Program (CLUE) or complete a one-credit orientation course (SPD 101: Issues in College Life, or SKO 100: SEEK Freshman Orientation.) Students are expected to complete this requirement during their first semester or prior to the completion of 12 equated credits.
To satisfy this requirement students must:
Choose one of the following:
Successfully complete a one-credit freshman orientation course: SPD 101: Issues in College Life or SKO 100: SEEK Freshman Orientation (open only to SEEK students)
OR
Complete the five components of the non-credit College Life Unit Experiences (CLUE) program, which include: attendance at a general orientation session on such topics as the purposes of higher education, an overview of College policies and services, and an appreciation of diversity. Students should attend the orientation session prior to the beginning of classes.
ANDAttend four CLUE-certified events: two Personal Growth Experiences and two Co-curricular Experiences. Personal Growth topics include study skills, career development, self-development, substance abuse, and pluralism. Co-curricular Experiences include events offered in conjunction with the scholarly, cultural, and civic programs presented regularly at the College.

STEM majors are allowed to replace either one TALA or one social science requirement with a STEM variant course.
This program has a CUNY STEM Waiver to specify particular courses students must complete in the Mathematical and Quantitative Reasoning, Life and Physical Sciences, Scientific World, and College Option areas. If students take other courses to satisfy these areas, they will be certified as having completed the requirements, however, it may not be possible for them to finish their degree program within the regular number of credits.
*22 credits required for the Major also satisfy general education requirements.

Additional Comments:
Chemistry Advisory
One-year of high school chemistry is required prior to entry into course and course. If you have not completed one-year of high school chemistry you will be required to complete course and course prior to registering for course and course.
Mathematics Placement
Depending on mathematics placement, some students may have to complete course, and/or course and/or course, and/or course before enrolling in course/course or course/course.
Liberal Arts and Sciences Requirement
Of the 133 credits required for the BS in Engineering Science, at least 66 must be in liberal arts and sciences courses. Most courses designated ENS are non-liberal arts and sciences; those ENS courses that are cross-listed in mathematics (MTH) or physics (PHY) are liberal arts and sciences.
To graduate with honors in Engineering Science a student must meet the following requirements:
Fulfillment of all the requirements for the Engineering Science degree
An overall grade point average of 3.5 and a grade point average of 3.5 in the major
Outstanding achievement as demonstrated by ONE or more of the following:
Exceptional senior project
Authorship in a paper or abstract at the refereed conference or journal proceedings in the field
Major recognition award for undergraduate research work within the CUNY community
For the honors option to be awarded, the student needs to be nominated by faculty or apply before graduation, and honors status will be judged and awarded by a departmental committee.
