Evening study available.

Student Outcomes

Students will acquire:

1. An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
2. An ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly-defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
3. An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.
4. An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes.
5. An ability to function effectively as a member or leader on a technical team.

Program Requirements

General Education 23 Requirements (33 credit hours)
Completion requirement
GE23 number of credits is 33. However, required courses outside of major, such as MAT 126 or MAT 161 satisfy Mathematics and Quantitative Reasoning in GE 23; CHE 111 or PHY 107/111 satisfy Natural Science and Scientific Reasoning in GE 23. Therefore, the number of remaining credits in GE 23 required by the program is (33 – 6) = 27 cr. [In GE 23 courses for each category are counted as 3 credits each. Therefore, the total number deducted is 6 credits].
