The interdisciplinary Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) program offers students a robust foundation in core engineering topics, while allowing them to specialize in multiple disciplines. Designed in collaboration with regional industrial partners, the curriculum equips graduates with the knowledge, skills, and qualities sought by leading companies for their engineering postions. Students can tailor their studies to suit their career aspirations, choosing from certificates in Biological Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Engineering Management, Manufacturing Engineering, and Power Generation Engineering. Graduates of this program are well-prepared for diverse pathways, including graduate studies, professional schools, entrepreneurship, and successful careers as engineers in industry.
The Engineering Technology program has yielded some amazing accomplishments after completing its 6th year. First, our students participating in the American Institute of Chemical Engineers' (AIChE) competitions have finished in the top 5 in national competition in 4 of the 5 years since the program's inception, besting many premier institutions. Second, our students and graduates are finding success in co-op and full-time positions at partner companies regionally as well as elsewhere in the U.S.
The Occupational Health Science program (formerly known as the Industrial Hygiene program) is one of only four ABET-accredited bachelor's program in the United States. Our program has been in existence here at UNA since 1979 when it was added due to the interest of both the government and industry in safety in the work environment. It has been designed to prepare students for direct entry into positions in industry, government, and other organizations as occupational health scientists and for entry into graduate programs in environmental health and safety. Our program has been continuously accredited by ABET, Inc. since 2001.
Our online Master's in Applied Manufacturing Engineering will begin its 3rd year with an expectecd enrollment of 25 students for the 2022-2023 academic year. The first cohort of graduates took place at the completion of the spring semester of 2021. Also, this degree program participates in (Accelerated Master's Program) where qualified undergraduate students may start this master's degree concurrently with their undergraduate degree — thus, students are on a fast-track to equip themselves with a master's degree and saving money because AMP courses are offered at the undergraduate tuition rate.
