Engineering
As members of the broadest of all engineering fields, mechanical engineers leave their fingerprints on practically everything people use. For example, consider the automobile: mechanical engineers study the aerodynamics to design the exterior, understand combustion and fluid mechanics to develop the engine systems, conduct simulations on vehicle dynamics to optimize the drive train, appreciate the material requirements to mass-produce a reliable vehicle and are keenly aware of potential dangers to design safety systems. Similarly, mechanical engineers affect design at every level of energy production systems, environmental control systems, industrial automation or robotics, transportation systems and biological systems. To prepare you for such a wide variety of applications we focus attention toward the key steps that make any product or a system successful. You will learn to base your design on engineering fundamentals, analyze your ideas using industry standard tools, build prototypes to appreciate the challenge of fabrication and finally test your designs for performance. This 'Design, Analyze, Build, and Test' philosophy will be the foundation of your career, making you well-suited for industrial jobs, governmental positions or as a student/researcher in graduate school.

Electrical and Computer Engineering
Electrical and Computer Engineers (ECEs) have made some remarkable contributions to our world; we have pioneered the invention of smart phones, computers, smart grids, digital cameras, MP3 players, GPS systems, medical imaging devices, and computer games, to name a small fraction of countless similar innovations. As a ECE, you will play a crucial and indispensable role in the design of cars, airplanes, spacecraft, autonomous and even extraterrestrial vehicles, home appliances, bioinformatics, lifesaving medical equipment and so many other technologies that we have come to rely on.
Under the pressure of today's technologically complex requirements, the once distinctly different fields of electrical, electronic and computer engineering have merged into one well-integrated discipline. Rowan offers the first in nation, combined Electrical and Computer Engineering degree. Our ECE program is accredited by ABET as a combined program, which meets the requirements of both electrical and computer engineering.

Civil and Environmental Engineering
From the large sport stadiums to the Freedom Tower in New York City, all of the world's man-made wonders were designed by civil and environmental engineers. Civil engineers are problem-solvers and design and build structures, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure. Environmental engineers help make the world a cleaner and better place by pioneering technologies for water and waste water treatment plants, hazardous waste site cleanup, pollution control, and much more.
As a Rowan Civil and Environmental Engineering student, you'll take part in the program's popular, hands-on clinic program starting freshmen year and learn to use science to improve the world around you. You can also be part of the Engineers without Borders chapter and assist communities worldwide meet their basic needs.
