Engineering, Computer Science, Math & Physics Pathway
Students in the Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics Pathway build a strong foundation in math and science, which will prepare them for a career of learning and invention.
Students will work with faculty, fellow students, and community members to tackle problems of significance to their community and the world. In addition to classroom and structured laboratory experiences, students can participate in research, internship, and community engagement experiences.
Majors include: Biomedical Informatics, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, and Physics
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS NEW TO PSU:
Incoming freshmen and transfer students should complete Orientation prior to scheduling an appointment with their advisor for their first term. Orientation covers the information necessary to select and register for classes, and students may follow up with their advisor afterwards if they have specific questions.
How to meet with an ECSMP Advisor:
Students are assigned to a pathway advisor based on the last two digits of their PSU ID number, as listed below. We take a team approach to advising, and you are welcome to see your assigned advisor or another advisor. Scroll down to see ECSMP faculty advisors.
