the university offers many majors in engineering, such as chemical, industrial, and electrical engineering.
the university offers many majors in engineering: such as chemical, industrial, and electrical engineering.
the university offers many majors in engineering - such as chemical, industrial, and electrical engineering.

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first option: It incorrectly uses a period before "Such as", creating a sentence fragment. "Such as..." should be a dependent clause here.
2. Analyze the second option: It uses a comma before "such as" to introduce examples, which is grammatically correct. The lowercase "the" at the start is appropriate as it's a general reference to a university, and the punctuation and structure are proper.
3. Analyze the third option: A colon is incorrect here because "such as..." is not an independent clause or a list that requires a colon for introduction. A colon is typically used to introduce a list or an explanation that is an independent clause.
4. Analyze the fourth option: A dash is unnecessary here. A comma is the standard punctuation to introduce examples with "such as" in this context.

Answer:

B. The university offers many majors in engineering, such as chemical, industrial, and electrical engineering.
