Certificate of Achievement
Program Details
The Engineering Program is the discipline of acquiring and applying scientific, mathematical, economic, social, and practical knowledge, in order to design and build structures, machines, devices, systems, and materials. A background in engineering is important not only to engineers, but also to students interested in chemistry, physics, biology, and medicine. In addition to engineering courses, engineering students will need to develop a strong background in math. A certificate of achievement may be earned by completing all the courses required for this major with a grade of C or better.
