What it is	Comprehensive Engineering is a four-year engineering degree where you choose a specialization in areas like software, mechanical, electrical, or manufacturing engineering. The BEng&Mgt option pairs your engineering degree with business and management courses, preparing you to lead technical projects or move into management roles. This program suits students who want hands-on problem-solving in engineering fields and are deciding between practical specializations or combining technical expertise with business skills.	Smith Engineering's common first year means you take the same core courses as all engineering students — math, physics, chemistry, and engineering fundamentals — before choosing a specialization like mechanical, civil, chemical, or aerospace engineering in second year. This delays your choice, letting you explore different engineering fields before committing. It suits students who know they want engineering but are unsure which branch fits them best.	You study how mechanical systems, computers, and biological science work together to solve medical problems, combining engineering design with biotechnology and programming. Unlike a single engineering degree, this double degree lets you earn two credentials in five years by integrating these three fields from the start rather than taking them separately. It suits students who want to design medical devices, prosthetics, or diagnostic equipment and are comfortable working across biology, mechanics, and software simultaneously.
