Program features The program normally requires three years at Augustana followed by atleasttwo years in residence at the engineering school. While at Augustana,the student pursues a broad education in the liberal arts while simultaneously obtaining the basic training in mathematics, physics, chemistry and computer science required to study engineering. Students can choose any ABET-accredited engineering school, provided they meet that school’s transfer admissions requirements.
