In the tradition of the land-grant concept, this division seeks to serve the educational needs of the individual student through providing instructional programs that integrate teaching, research and extension through the student’s college experience. The curricula in the division also provides for broad training in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences, mainly during the freshman and sophomore years. The junior and senior years are devoted largely to the professional aspects of the student's area of specialization. In general, the graduation requirement for the Bachelor of Science degree program is 120 semester hours.
ENGINEERING SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY
The Division of Engineering Sciences and Technology offers undergraduate degrees in four programs of study: (1) Civil Engineering Technology; 2) Construction Engineering Technology; 3) Electronic Engineering Technology and 4) Biological and Agricultural Systems Engineering. Goals of the programs are to educate and train students in the field of engineering technology and to use their scientific knowledge and problem-solving skills to determine the best solution to the problems of today and the future. The Engineering Technology programs prepare technologists to apply engineering principles to build, operate and manage systems. While a strong scientific base and analytical skills are provided, the engineering technology programs focus on applying engineering principles.
- Food Science
Food Science touches the life of every single person for food is essential to life. Food Scientists apply sciences such as biology, chemistry, physics, biotechnology, microbiology, engineering and mathematics to food in order to ensure that the foods eaten are safe and factors such as taste, nutritional value, and shelf life are improved. Food Science is the basis of Food Processing which is the largest industry in the United States employing more than 2 million people and with a presence in every state and offering a wide variety of employment opportunities. Food Scientists may find...
