The objective of this initiative called for tripling the number of engineering graduates by 2008. The Integrated Engineering program was created to expand the pool of engineering branches offered in Utah’s schools of higher education, without duplicating any of them. It addresses the needs that are not covered by the traditional engineering programs; 3. many students are interested in a blend of engineering disciplines rather than a specific branch. This is especially true for those wanting to pursue a career in operations and/or management. Because of its multidisciplinary nature, the Integrated
