It does, however, provide a broad educational background on which to build a career in engineering through additional education or work experience.

The program educational objectives are the following:

  1. Graduates will have demonstrated knowledge and skills to pursue an engineering bachelor program.
  2. Graduates will have demonstrated involvement in high-level technical roles.

Completion of this program should result in the following student outcomes:

  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 conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes
