The Bachelor of Science degree in Integrated Science and Technology produces a graduate broadly acquainted with basic science, technology and social science. All students pursue a common program through their sophomore year that provides a foundation of science and an introduction to its technology applications. Studies are integrated and include mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, biology, knowledge-based systems, environmental science, modern production, energy, and the role of science and technology in society. During their junior and senior years, all students pursue deeper study of strategically significant areas that include applied biotechnology, energy, environment and sustainability, industrial and manufacturing systems, and applied computing. Each student selects a concentration in any of these areas and pursues additional study in the concentration culminating in a capstone project.
