The William States Lee College of Engineering

Fire Protection & Safety Management (MS)

The Master of Science in Fire Protection & Safety Management (FPSM) program is a 30-credit-hour program that includes a 15-credit hour core, with the remaining 15 credits chosen from a list of elective courses. A capstone experience is also required, which may consist of a 6-credit hour graduate research thesis or a comprehensive exam at the conclusion of studies.  Courses cover a range of topics including Human Behavior in Fire, Fire Protection Systems, Building Codes, Risk Management, Industrial Hygiene, Ergonomics, Environmental Pollution Control and Safety Management.

Infrastructure and Environmental Systems (Ph.D.)

The Ph.D. in Infrastructure and Environmental Systems (INES) is an interdisciplinary program emphasizing innovations in design, analysis, construction and operation of civil, energy and environmental infrastructure and the scientific analysis of environmental systems. The interdisciplinary program also involves the development and sustainable use of renewable resources and the protection of our earth and its environmental systems. The interplay between the environment and infrastructure is thoroughly studied by students as they confront the challenges facing urbanizing regions.

Mechanical Engineering (MSME)

The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering is broad based, allowing students to develop expertise in a number of areas including metrology, precision engineering, bioengineering, motorsports and automotive engineering, energy engineering, manufacturing, thermal and fluid sciences, solid mechanics, instrument design, materials engineering and science and mechanical control and instrumentation.

Precision Metrology (CERT)

The Graduate Certificate in Precision Metrology provides graduate students and professionals with the opportunity to reach a demonstrated level of competence in dimensional metrology theory and application beyond the undergraduate level and bench experience. Students will be introduced to topics directly related to dimensional metrology and its application in industrial settings. These advanced course topics will, together, provide students with broader knowledge of the field of metrology and exposure to advanced techniques in dimensional measurement and analysis of data.
