The College of Engineering, Technology, and Physical Sciences provides students with technological skills and opportunities that stimulate professional, educational, and personal growth. The college provides this growth through a diverse faculty and staff who are committed to teaching, research, and service. Students are encouraged to participate in technical competitions, STEM projects, technical society projects, senior design projects, research, internships and cooperative education programs all of which inspire confidence and develop careers. They also are encouraged to participate in ongoing research with faculty members that contribute to technical innovations. The college maintains an atmosphere that enhances the student’s ability to achieve the optimum learning experience.
Program offerings in the College consist of four-year programs in civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science. Programs are offered in electrical engineering and mechanical engineering technology, industrial technology, and construction management. The College also provides four-year programs in physics, chemistry and mathematics. All of these programs lead to a Bachelors of Science degree in the specified discipline.
Students deciding to advance their technical knowledge can acquire a Masters of Science degree in physics, computer science, or technology. Students completing engineering degrees may elect to apply for the Masters of Engineering degree in Materiel Engineering. This is a multi-disciplinary program in life-cycle engineering. The physics program has a proud history of producing Ph. D. degrees in applied physics.
In addition to program offerings, the College is the home of the National Nuclear Safety Administration’s (NNSA) Samuel P. Massie Chair of Excellence Program. This program provides research in nuclear detection materials, simulation, outreach programs and education. The College is home to the Center of Excellence in Integrated Sensor Systems sponsored by the Aviation and Missile Research, Development, and Engineering Center (AMRDEC), and the Historically Black College University-Undergraduate Program (HBCU-UP) funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). These programs have contributed to improving the college’s infrastructure by providing funds to establish state-of-the-art laboratories, educational enhancements, and outreach activities.
Scholarships in the College of Engineering, Technology and Physical Sciences are supported by state funding, foundations, industries, governmental agencies, and private contributions. Award amounts vary depending on student performance. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 is required to obtain and retain all scholarships.
