Engineering, B.S.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering is cutting-edge, innovative and market-driven to prepare students for today’s industry demands. Two tracks are offered as a part of the program: (1)Construction Project Management and (2) Industrial Manufacturing.

Engineering Program Goals

1. Prepare graduates with knowledge, skills and abilities to complete computer-aided design of parts, facilities and project design by the end of their freshman enrollment year.
2. Prepare graduates to communicate effectively utilizing engineering terminology and techniques for effective results.
3. Prepare graduates with knowledge, skills and abilities in design, quality, safety, project management, and supervision to lead employees and technical operations used to create products, goods and services by the end of their second year of enrollment.
4. Prepare graduates to collaborate with clients, architects, other engineers, upper management and other project members to determine and complete tasks.
5. Prepare graduates to use computer applications to solve problems related to data, management, spread sheets and Internet utilization.
6. Prepare graduates who acquire a general education, which enables them to communicate verbally, perform mathematical computations, and exhibit social interest and responsibility.
7. Prepare graduates who display the sensibilities and character of a freethinking person capable of being a critical thinker, problem-solver and be a responsible citizen.
8.  Prepare graduates who possess a range, depth, and scope of knowledge about engineering, management, operations and production efficiency
9.  Prepare engineering graduates with skill sets that lead to continuous improvement.
