University offers degrees in engineering and in engineering technology. The course of study that leads to engineering degrees is characterized by a solid Professional Engineer (P.E.) Certification foundation in the theoretical underpinnings of engineering based on science The College encourages all of its graduates to eventually be certified and mathematics. Graduates are well equipped to pursue graduate education, as Professional Engineers (P.E.). The certification requires taking the pursue professional registration, or enter the engineering profession. The Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Examination and the Professional course of study that leads to engineering technology degrees is characterized Engineering (P.E.) Examination. All students are encouraged to take by strong laboratory experiences that will prepare the graduate to hit the the FE Examination in their senior year.
