Lecturers:
James H. Ma, M.S.
The Lecturers listed are individuals who have been employed as instructors on an as-needed basis,
within the last several years, to teach courses at Benedictine University. Instructors listed may not
currently be employed by Benedictine University. The University is fortunate to be able to provide our
students with part-time faculty whose experience, credentials and commitment to education add to the high quality of our resident faculty.

Requirements - Major:
Engineering science majors are required to complete the engineering core program: ENGR-120(2), 220(3), 221(3); MATH-C210(5) or C170(5) and 200(4), 211(4), 212(4), 260(4); PHYS-C211(4), C212(4), 213(3), C205(1), 206(1); CHEM-C113(3), C114(1), C123(3), C124(1); and CMSC-C120(3) and an additional 20 semester hours of engineering coursework with grades of "C" or better.
Requirements - Other:
Pre-Engineering Transfer Program:
In this program, the student transfers to an engineering school (University of Detroit, University of Illinois, Marquette University, University of Notre Dame, etc.) at the end of the sophomore year and earns a degree from the engineering school after two additional years of work.
Requirements for Pre-Engineering transfer students:
Students are normally required to successfully complete 60 semester hours of course work before an engineering school will allow them to transfer into one of its programs. For most engineering programs, these 60 hours would include the following courses:
PHYS-C211(4), C212(4), 213(3), C205(1), 206(1); MATH-C210(5), 211(4), 212(4), 260(4); CHEM-C113(3), C114(1), C123(3), C124(1); ENGR-120(2), 220(3), 221(3); CMSC-C120(3); RHET-S102(3) and six semester hours of social science electives.
Engineering Science major program:
The second program offered in Engineering Science is often referred to as a 3+2 program because the student spends three years at Benedictine completing all of the general education requirements and engineering courses, then transfers to the engineering school to complete the engineering program in two additional years. Two degrees are earned: a Bachelor of Arts with a major in engineering science from Benedictine University and an undergraduate engineering degree in a particular field from the engineering school. Work completed at the engineering school is counted toward the Bachelor of Arts degree which is normally conferred at the end of the fourth year in the program (the first at the engineering school).
Other Information:
Benedictine University IIT Joint Engineering Program
John Cicero, Ph.D-Program Liaison
Benedictine University and Illinois Institute of Technology have established a program to offer students the opportunity to take advantage of the strengths of both schools en route to an engineering degree. But unlike most cooperative engineering programs, this one allows a student to be enrolled at Benedictine and IIT at the same time.
In this program, students take humanities, social science, basic sciences and math courses at Benedictine University in Lisle, while taking engineering courses at IIT’s downtown Chicago campus. Upon graduation in five years, the student is awarded an engineering degree from IIT and a bachelor of arts degree in engineering science or a bachelor of science in computer science (in conjunction with the computer engineering program) from Benedictine University.
A resident student can remain on campus during his/her entire university career. He/she will maintain one grade-point average throughout the entire joint program. He/she may also participate in student activities and use all the facilities at both schools. Students may earn engineering degrees in the five year program in the following areas:
1. Electrical Engineering
2. Computer Engineering
3. Mechanical Engineering
4. Aeronautical Engineering
5. Environmental Engineering
6. Civil Engineering
7. Chemical Engineering
8. Architectural Engineering
