The Department of Physics proudly hosts the Coordinated Engineering Program. Brooklyn College has an articulation with NYU-Tandon School of Engineering in which students complete the first two years of engineering courses at Brooklyn College and then transfer to NYU-Tandon as juniors for the remaining two years for a baccalaureate degree. Up to 65 credits are transferred under this articulation. It is a guaranteed transfer for students who maintain the required academic standards.

Students in this program can also transfer to the Grove School of Engineering at City College and Engineering Sciences Program at College of Staten Island (CUNY). Transfer to these colleges is guaranteed for those who maintain the academic standards. Our students have also transferred to the Fu School of Engineering at Columbia University, Johns Hopkins University, Stony Brook University, SUNY Buffalo, Rutgers University and others.

Coordinated engineering students are required to take at least 64 credits in engineering and the liberal arts.
The coordinated engineering curriculum matches the first two years of study at most engineering schools throughout the country, and courses are guaranteed transferable to the three schools that participate in the Coordinated Engineering Program.
Courses are also transferable to many other engineering programs.
The course requirements include engineering mechanics, electrical circuit analysis and laboratory (seldom taught outside of engineering schools) as well as computer science courses such as advanced programming techniques, data structure and object-oriented programming.
Chemistry, mathematics, calculus-based physics, modern physics and biology give coordinated engineering students a firm foundation for the advanced engineering courses given at Brooklyn College and the engineering school of transfer.
For students who enter the Coordinated Engineering Program but decide later not to pursue engineering, the program allows a smooth transition to any of the more than 70 undergraduate majors available at Brooklyn College.
All students admitted to Brooklyn College can join this program.
Prerequisite to join this program is a B or better grade in pre-calculus (MATH 1011) or AP Calculus in high school. Submit an application for admission as a freshman to CUNY indicating Brooklyn College as one of the choices.
You may choose Physics as major.
Qualified students already enrolled including students in honors programs at Brooklyn College can join the Coordinated Engineering Program at any time.
How to Apply to Brooklyn College
The Brooklyn College Coordinated Engineering Program provides a superior education at a manageable cost.
Tuition and Fees
Brooklyn College students who have completed the program and who transfer to NYU-Tandon School of Engineering will receive financial aid in terms of government grants, scholarships and loans for their final two years of study. Those who transfer to the Grove School of Engineering at City College or the College of Staten Island Engineering Science Program will continue to pay the similar tuition set by the CUNY.
Engineering is one of America’s fastest growing professions because technology affects our day-to-day lives in countless ways. Any invention must be engineered before it can be used. Engineers have designed every building we enter, every high-tech medical device or tool we use, every car we drive, and every item large and small in the kitchen, office and garage.
Engineers solve practical problems from getting an astronaut home from outer space to designing a car seat safe enough for an infant.
Engineers work in a wide range of fields, including environmental protection, biotechnology, biomimetics, computer design, communications, robotics, aerospace, industrial chemistry and materials science, among others. They build and maintain systems through which technology and nature interact, such as solar and wind energy, emissions technology for cars and industry, and sensors to measure oxygen levels in large bodies of water.
Engineering is one of the most rewarding professions. A strong background in the humanities and social sciences helps engineers understand human needs. This convergence of engineering and liberal arts has practical implications in the marketplace. Engineers commonly rise to well-paid managerial positions in business, industry and government because they know how to apply quantitative analysis and the scientific method to issues in social and civic life.
Engineering provides a sound preparation for other professional careers. An engineering background in mathematics, science, computer science and design, combined with humanities and the social sciences, strengthens students’ qualifications for other professions such as medicine, law and the financial industry.
