Engineering
Dual-Degree Program
Engineers
apply the principles of science and mathematics to develop economical
solutions to technical problems. Their work is the link between scientific
discoveries and the commercial applications that meet societal and consumer
needs. Many engineers design and develop
new products, such as robots, chemicals, computers, power plants,
helicopters, and toys. In addition
to design and development, many engineers work in testing, production, or
maintenance. These engineers supervise production in factories, determine
the causes of component failure, and test manufactured products to maintain
quality. They also estimate the time and cost to complete projects.
Supervisory engineers are responsible for major components or entire
projects.
Kentucky
Wesleyan College in conjunction with accredited engineering schools, offers
a dual-degree program in engineering.
A student choosing this program would complete the pre-engineering
program at Kentucky Wesleyan and then transfer to an accredited engineering
school. Upon completion of the
accredited engineering school program the student would receive an
engineering degree from the engineering school and a science degree from
Kentucky Wesleyan. Many different
engineering degrees are available from accredited engineering schools
including but not limited to: Aerospace,
Agricultural, Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical,
Electronics, Environmental, Health and Safety, Industrial, Marine,
Materials, Mechanical, Mining, Nuclear, and Petroleum engineering. The types of science degrees available
from Kentucky Wesleyan include: Chemistry, Physics, and Applied
Mathematics.
The
pre-engineering program at Kentucky Wesleyan is designed to prepare
engineering students for entrance into engineering schools to complete a
baccalaureate degree in engineering.
Engineering students are expected to have an understanding of the
general principles of chemistry, physics, calculus, and computer
programming, and the ability to apply mathematical techniques to the solution
of a wide variety of technical problems.
Specifically, we intend our engineering
students to:
·
understand the role
of engineering in society;
·
understand the
basic principles of chemistry, physics, and calculus;
·
understand and
utilize the methods and techniques in experimental science;
·
develop the ability
for problem solving;
·
develop computer
programming skills;
·
develop technical
communication skills.
Kentucky Wesleyan College, in conjunction with the local Green River
chapter of the Kentucky Society of Professional Engineers, has a student
engineering society. All engineering
students are encouraged to become members of the society and participate in
engineering related activities locally and within the region.
