Design Thinking. The Power to Create.

100+ Possibilities.

True flexibility and accredited engineering. 

Pursue your passions without the additional cost and time of a second major or minor.

What's the IDE difference?

Hands-on project courses are required each year of the program. These not only equip students with skills to lead team-based initiatives, but is also an opportunity for them to put theory into practice

IDE students can pursue their other passions without the additional cost and time of a second major or minor. Students often find it easier to pursue a minor in the IDE program, when compared to traditional engineering degree programs, especially if the minor is located in a different academic college (Business, Arts and Sciences, etc.)

Many IDE students pursue more than one passion by choosing a concentration and also pursing a minor through the free electives required by the program.

Our concentration system sets pre-professional-track students up for success. For example, in the Pre-Medical Concentration, students can take courses like molecular biology and organic chemistry, which can be challenging to merge with traditional engineering programs.

Engineering Plus name change

Integrated Design Engineering is the new name for Engineering Plus ("e+"). We changed the name, but not the program.

An IDE Emphasis gives you the opportunity to explore your engineering passion and establish a disciplinary engineering foundation.

Explore Emphases

IDE concentrations are an additional field of study you are passionate about pursuing, without the additional cost/time of a second major or minor.

Find a Concentration

All of our IDE core classes focus on hands-on design and experimentation to help you take your knowledge from theoretical to practical.

Core Courses

Required foundational courses in mathematics, natural and social sciences, the humanities and writing.

Foundational Courses

How does it work?

Choose an engineering emphasis and concentration and pair them with IDE core courses and foundational coursework.
