Aerospace Engineering
Prepares students to design, analyze, and build aircraft, spacecraft, propulsion systems, and defense technologies. Students study aerodynamics, structural analysis, propulsion, avionics, and orbital mechanics. Graduates work at NASA, aerospace manufacturers, defense contractors, and commercial space companies as aerospace engineers and systems analysts.
Architecture
Building design and architecture. Prepares students for the independent professional practice of architecture and for research in the field, covering architectural design, history, and theory; building structures and environmental systems; project and site planning; construction; professional responsibilities and standards; and related cultural, social, economic, and environmental issues.
Automotive Engineering Technology
Vehicle repair and maintenance. Applies engineering principles and technical skills in support of engineers and other professionals who develop, manufacture, and test self-propelled ground vehicles and their systems, covering vehicular systems technology, design and development testing, inspection and maintenance procedures, instrument calibration, and test equipment operation.
Biomedical Engineering
Applies engineering principles to the design and development of medical devices, diagnostic equipment, prosthetics, tissue engineering systems, and healthcare technologies. Students study biomechanics, biomaterials, medical imaging, and regulatory compliance. Graduates work at medical device companies, hospitals, and research institutions.
Chemical Engineering
Chemical processes and manufacturing. Applies mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development, and evaluation of systems built on chemical processes - reactors, electrochemical and energy conservation systems, heat and mass transfer, and separation processes - and to problems such as corrosion, pollution, and fluid mechanics.
Civil Engineering
Infrastructure and construction engineering. Applies mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development, and operational evaluation of structural and load-bearing systems, transportation and material-moving systems, water resource systems, material control systems, and environmental safety measures.
