General Engineering (GENE) is a degree program where engineering students create their own curricula to match their own interests or career objectives when they cannot be met by one of the established programs within the College of Engineering. Emphasis areas studied by GENE majors span a wide range, from audio engineering to sustainable energy to product design, to name a few.
