BS in Engineering Innovation and Leadership

The B.S. in Engineering Innovation and Leadership program (BSEIL) offers a rigorous and flexible major in Engineering with in-depth study of leadership and its effect upon engineering and society.  The program includes concentrations in UTEP engineering fields.  The Engineering Innovation and Leadership program and its associated concentrations meet the curricular accreditation requirements of the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET using the criteria for General Engineering.

Our graduates transition from UTEP to successful careers in the most cutting-edge, exciting engineering and technology companies in the U.S. and abroad, working to provide engineering combined with business acumen in innovative industries across the globe; in service science and engineering companies, such as Apple, AT&T, Halliburton, Google, IBM, and in aerospace, defense, energy, and manufacturing industries; product development; NASA; DOD laboratories; and academic positions.

Possible career paths for students in this degree are: Project Engineer, Engineering Manager, Systems Engineer, Sales Engineer, Design Engineer, Process Engineer, etc.

"We live in a technological age, and if our society is to flourish, many of our leaders should be engineers, and many of our engineers should be leaders" - Samuel Florman, The Interactive Engineer, 1997

Marketable Skills

  1. Communication: Reach mutual understanding through effective exchange of information, ideas, and feelings. 
  2. Critical thinking: Analyze and evaluate issues to understand problems and develop innovative solutions. 

  3. Leadership: Enact the five practices of exemplary leadership: model the way, inspire a shared vision, challenge the process, enable others to act, and encourage the heart.

  4. Problem-solving: Find innovative solutions to difficult or complex issues.

  5. Teamwork: Contribute as an effective, efficient member of a group to meet a common goal. 

  6. Multidisciplinary Engineering: Apply knowledge and skills related to foundational engineering concepts, design, and analysis that align with students’ passions and interests.

  7.  Innovation and Entrepreneurship: Identify, design, and deploy innovative socio-technical solutions that address issues of desirability, feasibility, and viability.

Program Objectives

Graduates of this program will:

  1. Value the role of engineering and leadership for the betterment of community and society.
    • Elaboration: Our graduates will value and will demonstrate ability to recognize leadership opportunities and to take initiative for beneficial change.  They will understand the broader impacts of their endeavors both inside and outside of engineering, be they social, economic, environmental, or ethical. They will be cognizant of their professional, civic, and societal responsibilities.
  2. Inventively cultivate success in their field by demonstrating technical competence and problem-solving skills, which will foster success in a variety of postgraduate environments, including professional practice and graduate school.
    • Elaboration: Our graduates will have a solid grounding in fundamental principles of engineering, mathematics, and science, and they will apply this knowledge to a variety of systems inside and outside of engineering.  They will be able to develop inventive solutions that are responsive to technical, social, economic, and cultural considerations and constraints among others.
  3. Possess attributes for assuming increasing levels of professional responsibility within and beyond engineering.
    • Elaboration: In accelerating their ability to innovate and lead, our graduates will develop their character, competency, and capacity.  They will also develop a deep understanding of engineering, mathematics, science, business, and entrepreneurship.  They will build on this foundation by engaging in independent and team learning to identify and to respond to emerging technical and societal developments.

Admission Requirements

Students admitted into the program begin to take Engineering, Innovation and Leadership courses, when they are pre-calculus-ready (can register for MATH 1508 OR HIGHER)..Each semester, students admitted into the BSEL program must meet prepare for their ensuring registration by completing a proposed course of study, when this is completed will meet with a BSEL advisor to approve their courses and electives.

Engineering Concentration Selection

Students will select a particular engineering Concentration or a specialized combination of discipline-specific courses.  Students can choose from the following engineering Concentrations:

  • Engineering Innovation
  • Aerospace Engineering
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Civil Engineering 
  • Computer Science
  • Computer Engineering
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

Students who choose these tracks will likely proceed into either conventional engineering employment or into graduate school to obtain an M.S. or a Ph.D. in Engineering.
