Engineering Disciplines

Biomedical Engineering: The biomedical engineering program at UH strikes a careful balance between the study of life sciences and engineering sciences, with an emphasis in bioanalytics and biosensing. The biomedical engineering program is housed and administered in the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Chemical Engineering: The chemical engineering undergraduate program, located in the heart of the nation’s petrochemical industry, is ranked among the top in the nation. UH engineers graduate with a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering, a minor in chemistry and a specially in one of six areas of chemical engineering: Chemical process Engineering, Biotechnology, Process Control, Electronic Materials, Environmental Engineering and Petroleum Engineering.

Civil Engineering: The undergraduate program is designed to offer students a broad-based education in the freshman and sophomores years and a more focused learning experience in the junior and senior years. Employment opportunities are found in industry, municipalities, consulting firms, research establishments, and federal and local regulatory agencies.

Computer Engineering: At UH, all computer engineering students receive a basic foundation in math, science and electrical engineering fundamentals as well as advanced courses in both software and hardware.

Electrical Engineering: The undergraduate program provides breadth and depth in the concentration areas of electromagnetic and solid state devices, power and controls, signals and communications and electronics. The computer option requires advanced courses in data structures and algorithms, digital and computer system design, operating systems and computer architecture.

Industrial Engineering: Undergraduate Industrial engineering students who are interested in business-oriented distribution or sales processes activities find the program extremely valuable. It is ideal for people-oriented students who enjoy math and science, anticipate eventual leadership opportunities and have a desire to maintain career flexibility.

Mechanical Engineering: The undergraduate Mechanical engineering encompasses more than just the traditional areas of machines and mechanism design. It is also involved with spacecraft design, polymers and other diverse application. Mechanical engineering students learn how to think creatively and logically, and how to address complex problems with newfound knowledge.
