Add Advanced Mathematics Skills to Your Engineering Program

Learn how to develop innovative mathematical solutions to complex engineering problems with a concurrent degree in engineering mathematics from UM-Dearborn. You’re eligible to pursue the concurrent degree if your primary major is:

  • Bioengineering
  • Computer engineering
  • Electrical engineering
  • Industrial and systems engineering
  • Manufacturing engineering
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Robotics engineering

The engineering mathematics program gives you the opportunity to expand your knowledge in applied mathematics, which is essential in modern engineering. You must earn your principal engineering degree and the engineering mathematics degree at the same time.

Where an Engineering Mathematics Degree Will Take You

Adding advanced mathematical skills to your principal engineering degree will open up a broad range of job opportunities in industry, research and development, and elsewhere. The combination of engineering and advanced mathematics skills also can serve as a strong foundation for pursuing graduate education in engineering, such as in the numerous programs we offer at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
