Course Information

The Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Engineering provides a focus on the application of management, design and technical skills for the design and integration of systems, the execution of new product designs, the improvement of manufacturing processes and the management and direction of physical and/or technical functions of a firm or organization.

The major includes instruction in basic engineering principles, project management, processes, production and operations, systems integration and control, quality and statistics. Students learn in the classroom, as well as through hands-on experiments and real-world internships.

The degree program can also function as a completer degree for students with associate degrees in engineering technology.

The Applied Engineering major comprises the following concentrations:

  • The Applied Engineering and Technology Management concentration provides students the necessary skills and knowledge to manage in technical environment. Graduates will have an understanding of materials, facility design, quality and safety.

  • The Foundry Technology concentration prepares students for employment in the metal casting industry. Graduates of the program will have completed coursework in Materials & Processes, Cast Metals, Metallurgy and Material Science, Solid Modeling and Solidification and applied their knowledge and skills in the capstone course, Foundry Tooling and Pattern Making. They will also have taken several management courses and have experience with programmable logic controllers, hydraulics & pneumatics and computer-aided manufacturing.
