Today’s engineers need to think about sociological, cultural, and environmental impacts of designs. That’s why our program combines the rigorous foundation of engineering courses with the human dimensions of technology through a curriculum grounded in the liberal arts.
- ABET Accredited
- Small class sizes
- Close-tied industrial partnerships
- Industrial partnerships for work experience
- Newly equipped educational laboratories
- Combined hands-on experience and fundamental education
- Targeted and well-equipped educational laboratory experiments
Gain real life experience, all before you graduate.
Our curriculum, course content, laboratory experience, design projects, teaching, and extracurricular activities are all oriented to simulate real-world experience, including:
- Labs
- Physics
- Material Testing
- Fluid Mechanics
- Instrumentational Electronics
- Engineering Computer Lab, which houses 25 new computers with 3D Drafting, Finite Element Analysis modeling software, and software for computer programming, as well as a virtual reality characterization station
- Senior Design Lab, which contains manufacturing, welding, and 3D printing equipment
- Internships and Cooperative Education
