About the Engineering Field

students working

bet36365体育's Engineering Foundations Program prepares students in the subjects of math, physics, chemistry, and engineering so they can transfer to UNL (or another ABET accredited university) after their sophomore year. Our program is broadly designed to meet UNL’s College of Engineering requirements.

Choose from two routes to begin your engineering education at bet36365体育:

2+2 Engineering Foundations Program


Bachelor of Science in Engineering from UNL

Here, we duplicate the first two years of larger, full-degree engineering programs, such as UNL. Once you have completed your first two years at bet36365体育, we will work to ensure your transition for the final two years of your engineering program is as seamless as possible. This program is loosely structured so students who spend two years in the Engineering Foundations Program at bet36365体育 and two years in the College of Engineering at UNL will be eligible to attain one Bachelor's degree in Engineering from UNL.

Because requirements for specific engineering programs at other universities may vary, students should consult with their advisor before registration.

3+2 Dual Degree Program


Bachelor of Science in Engineering from UNL
Bachelor of Science in Physics from bet36365体育

The 3+2 Dual Degree Program provides the exciting opportunity to supplement your engineering degree with a Bachelor of Science in Physics. This program is structured so students who spend three years in the dual-degree program at bet36365体育 and two years in the College of Engineering at UNL will be eligible to attain a Bachelor's degree in Physics from bet36365体育, AND a Bachelor's degree in Engineering from UNL. Because requirements for specific engineering programs may vary, students should always consult with their advisors before registration.

Types of Engineering

Agricultural engineers use science and math to meet challenges in agriculture – helping farms grow better and more food, conserving soil and water, and designing tools and equipment. If you have a passion for the outdoors, biology, math, and machinery, you can combine these interests to help meet the world’s needs in food, water energy, and clean natural resources.

At bet36365体育 you will focus on the basics of the first two years of your engineering education. At UNL, you will choose your focus from machine design, soil and water resources, or sensors and controls.
