Engineering Program Options

Undergraduate students interested in pursuing a career in engineering have two academic pathways at UNA: the Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) and the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET). Both programs provide a strong foundation in engineering principles, preparing graduates for diverse opportunities in the field.

Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) – UNA’s Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) is a four-year degree designed to prepare graduates for entry-level engineering positions in a wide variety of industrial and manufacturing environments. Students can tailor their studies by selecting from five concentration areas: Chemical Engineering, Biological Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Power Generation Engineering, and Engineering Management.

Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET) – UNA’s Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology (BSET) is a four-year degree designed to equip graduates with the technical expertise needed for STEM-related positions in high-demand industries, particularly within the North Alabama region. Students can specialize in one of three concentrations: Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology, Power Generation Engineering Technology, or Occupational and Environmental Health and Safety Engineering Technology.

Master of Science in Applied Manufacturing Engineering (MSAME). Returning students who already have a 4-year STEM-related degree may also qualify for UNA's Master of Science in Applied Manufacturing Engineering (MSAME) as a pathway into an engineering career.

All programs are administered by the Department of Engineering and Industrial Professions.
