Interdepartmental Program in Engineering Science

Information for Students

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Science degree at Brandeis University is slated to launch in fall 2026.

There are many ways that current students, as well as future students entering Brandeis prior to fall 2026, may pursue their interest in engineering.

Students in an engineering classroom

Engineering Courses

A number of engineering courses are available to current students, such as Introduction to Design Methodology and Modeling and Simulation. These courses are cross-listed with many existing majors and minors, so students can use them to fulfill requirements for a number of different degrees. 

Fabrication and MakerSpace

Brandeis has a vibrant Fabrication and MakerSpace community that offers workshops and tools to support students’ needs for coursework, research, clubs or personal projects. Our new Engineering/Fabrication classroom and workspace is home to exciting courses like ENGR 11, which focuses on the design process and hands-on learning with fabrication technology.

Research Opportunities

Current students can get involved in engineering research during the school year or summer through programs like Brandeis’ MRSEC or the Robotics and Automation labs. As new engineering faculty join Brandeis, additional research opportunities will continue to emerge.

Student Clubs and Activities

Engineering-related clubs — such as the robotics club and aviation club — are open to current students, along with opportunities to compete in hackathons.

“Brandeis presents a really unique environment for these kinds of collaborations. The potential for discovery, for invention is limitless.”
