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 ABET 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 a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from the
engineering school and a Bachelor of 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.
BACHELOR
OF SCIENCE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS — 91 HOURS
At
Kentucky Wesleyan the student would satisfy the General Education Program,
make significant progress toward a traditional science degree and complete
a minimum of 91 semester hours. See sample schedule below.
