Engineering and Physics Academic Programs

The biomedical engineering program is designed for students interested in the application of physical science techniques to medical problems. Our students are prepared for graduate study in biomedical engineering or medicine as well as careers in biomedical instrument design, medical device design, orthopedic prosthesis design or engineering support of healthcare services. Design is an integral part of the curriculum and is introduced in the student's first semester and carried through to the senior year with the capstone project.

The biomedical engineering curriculum provides a solid foundation in mathematics, chemistry, physics and biology in preparation for careers in industry, research or medicine. By progressing through the curriculum, the student will develop a strong background in the engineering sciences so that they can continue to develop in this rapidly changing field. 

The Bachelor of Science program in biomedical engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Bioengineering, Biomedical and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

The biomedical engineering program has 33 students in 2023-24 and graduated three students in 2022-23.

The civil engineering program is designed for students interested in the application of physical science techniques to the design, construction and maintenance of roadways, dams, buildings and water resource systems. Design is an integral part of the curriculum and is introduced during the student's first semester and is reinforced each year, culminating in the senior year with a capstone design project.

The civil engineering curriculum provides a solid foundation in mathematics, chemistry and physics in preparation for a career in the industry. By progressing through the curriculum, the student will develop a strong background in the engineering sciences, preparing them for lifelong learning and graduate studies in this fascinating discipline.

The Bachelor of Science program in civil engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Civil and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

The civil engineering program has 26 students in 2023-24 and graduated six students in 2022-23.

The construction science degree prepares students to be professional constructors and managers within the industry of the built environment. The curriculum is designed to produce professional personnel equipped to manage and mitigate the growing challenges in all aspects of construction. The degree consists of a compilation of engineering science and project management coursework that will prepare the student for professional careers in residential, commercial and heavy construction.

The program prepares graduates to execute the designs created by engineers and architects. Students share the same classroom with engineering and architecture students preparing for their professional careers. This setting and approach equips the construction science students with an in-depth understanding of construction design, specifications and expectations that govern the projects the student will be executing after graduation.

The construction science curriculum affords students a level of construction science education that would require multiple years of industry experience to develop. This provides students the opportunity to be highly marketable for the many open positions within the construction industry, as well as opportunities to rapidly advance within their construction organizations.

The mechanical engineering program is designed for students interested in the application of physical science techniques to solve problems involving thermal and mechanical energy conversion for the public good. Our students are prepared for graduate study or careers in transportation systems, industrial machinery, heavy equipment, medical equipment, aircraft and rockets. Design is an integral part of the curriculum and is introduced in the first semester and carried through to the senior year with a capstone project.

The mechanical engineering curriculum provides a solid foundation in mathematics, chemistry and physics in preparation for their careers in industry, research or academia. By progressing through the program curriculum, the student is prepared for lifelong learning in this rapidly changing and diverse field.

The Bachelor of Science program in mechanical engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Mechanical and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.

The mechanical engineering program has 86 students in 2023-24 and graduated six students in 2022-23.
