About the course
The creation of functional materials and devices which involve controllable processes and transformations at the scale of billionths of a meter promises to become a major focus of future efforts in both engineering and scientific research. With a thorough background in materials science, engineering design, and surface and molecular chemistry and devices, this specialization prepares students for graduate study, as well as professional positions in materials and process engineering and research and development. Engineering Science is the study and application of physical sciences and mathematics to support engineering design, research and technological advancement. It stands at the core of research and development in today?s rapidly evolving ?high-tech? industries, and informs the complex design process necessary to respond to emerging needs, such as alternative energy generation, superdense data storage, nanotechnology-based sensors for homeland security, environmental clean up and sustainable development. In order to prepare students for employment in these high technology fields or graduate study in related areas, the Engineering Science major is both thorough enough to provide a strong background and flexible enough to respond to diverse student needs and a rapidly-evolving workplace. It provides a hands-on approach to real-world engineering problem solving, as well as opportunities for students to explore the leading edge of technological innovation with state-of-the-art tools. The major in Engineering Science (ESG) furnishes the student with a broad background in the basic engineering disciplines, and a multidisciplinary approach to both design and engineering research. It is designed for those who want a more flexible engineering education than that available from conventional engineering programs. The core program includes an extensive design experience that builds upon fundamental concepts and matches the requirements of professional practice. Courses chosen for the core program have been carefully selected to enhance student learning in research, design and communication. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships

How to apply
Entry requirements for SUNY Stony Brook University
If you are a freshman applicant, you must have completed the highest level of secondary education in your country of residence. We look for a strong secondary academic program with courses in math, natural sciences, and English (or, if English is the language of instruction, another language).
If you have attended any college or university after graduating from secondary school you must apply as a transfer student. Applicants are required to have performed well in a strong academic program, having completed at least 24 credits with a GPA of 3.0 or higher by the time they submit their application. If the applicant has earned fewer than 24 credits, high school transcripts must also be submitted.
