Wake Forest University
Engineering, B.S.
Wake Forest pairs a substantial engineering core with computational modeling, laboratories, and a three-course capstone. AI/ML study is optional, and public program-return evidence is suppressed. The provisional profile is Mixed; comparison is held pending source-exact repairs.
2 strong · 4 moderate
01 · Readiness profile
Seven judgments. One evidence trail.
Each criterion was researched in isolation from the official curriculum. Market evidence is shown later and does not raise these scores.
02 · What the curriculum proves
The program’s strongest design signals.
Data + computation
Strong because required quantitative foundations and required computational modeling include programming, systems modeling, numerical methods, and laboratory analysis.
“Fundamentals of computational problem solving tools (programming, systems modeling, numerical methods)”EGR 312. Computational Modeling in Engineering · 88% confidence
Applied practice
Moderate after focused specialist correction: required laboratories, design, and capstone show applied practice, but the Strong real-world/industry-partner gate was not documented.
“The second course of the capstone design experience. With laboratory.”EGR 314. Capstone Design II · 90% confidence
Ethics + responsibility
Moderate because ethics appears explicitly within required computational decision-making, but no standalone or recurring AI/data-responsibility requirement is documented.
“consideration of the economic and ethical outcomes of decisions”EGR 312. Computational Modeling in Engineering · 91% confidence
03 · Economic + market context
Measured carefully, at the grain the sources allow.
The mapped bachelor’s award cell has 36 first-major completions and an observed zero second-major count.
2023 reporting year in current IPEDS evidence tables · UnitID × CIP-6 × award level × reporting yearThe attached field/credential earnings and debt are suppressed; null values are not zero and are not named-program outcomes.

College Scorecard download 2026-06-10 · CIP-6 × credential-level national aggregate; earnings inherited from CIP-4The mapped 2023 bachelor’s award cell reports 36 first-major completions and an observed zero second-major count, but the attached field earnings and debt are suppressed. Institution fallback earnings and national Engineering, General benchmarks are broader context, not named-program outcomes. CIP–SOC links are structural priors; BLS projections and OEWS wages describe national occupations, not graduate placement or starting pay. Anthropic evidence describes observed Claude use in stated populations and channels, not program readiness, universal exposure, productivity, or job loss. The official catalog states ABET Engineering Accreditation Commission accreditation; DAPIP did not resolve a matching engineering record, which is a coverage gap.
04 · Publication standard
Evidence first. Aggregation second.
15 curriculum citations and 8 observed source families support this brief. Every score can open into its course-level evidence; broader outcomes stay visibly separate from the named catalog program.
After three audit passes, source-exact requiredness support remains incomplete for some curriculum claims, especially the optional hands-on AI pathway.
- CatalogProgram and ProgramAwardCell are distinct.
- PSEO remains unresolved_identifier; no participation, nonparticipation, suppression, or zero inference is made.
- College Scorecard field outcomes are inherited at broader CIP-4/credential grain and suppressed for this cell.
