Engineering the Future

New degrees will help students fill positions in engineering and technology fields that are in high demand in Northern Utah and beyond.

Trustees approved master’s degrees in computer science and electrical engineering and bachelor’s degrees in mechanical engineering and manufacturing systems engineering.

“Engineering is one of the largest and most in-demand degrees in the United States,” said Kirk Hagen BS ’77, WSU engineering chair. “The Northern Utah region is industrially rich with medical-, aerospace- and recreational-related companies. As Weber State begins offering additional engineering degrees, these local industries can be more fully served by qualified college graduates produced in their own backyard.”
