College of Science, Engineering and Technology

Return to: Colleges & Departments

The College of Science, Engineering and Technology offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in 14 major fields. The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (B.S.E.E.) and Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (B.S.M.E.) degree programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, www.abet.org. The ACS Chemistry Program is approved by the American Chemical Society.

The mission of the college is to provide high-quality education for students majoring in science, engineering and technology and to broaden the intellectual horizons of all students through coursework in the physical and life sciences. To support this mission, faculty and staff provide intellectually stimulating group and individual experiences for students in lecture classes, laboratories, student clubs, overseas study, cooperative education and faculty-student research projects.

All science, engineering and technology programs have significant “hands-on” experiences in well-equipped laboratories and computer facilities. Students have exceptional opportunities for career-related employment on campus in the Independent Testing Laboratory, in faculty-student research projects, in off-campus regional industry and in funded environmental research activities.

Due to a flexible pattern of class scheduling, students can attend class either full or part time, day or evening. Graduates have a broad range of opportunities for employment in both the public and private sectors and many continue their education through admission to graduate school. The college offers numerous scholarships from private endowments, student clubs and government agencies.

The college is particularly interested in encouraging excellence in K-12 education through numerous outreach activities of the SVSU Math-Science Center, Master of Arts in Teaching programs in biology, chemistry, mathematics, natural sciences and physics and special programs for those groups traditionally under-represented in technical education. In addition, the Master of Arts/Natural Science Teaching is offered for elementary, middle and secondary teachers with a science, mathematics or general emphasis. Details of this program can be found in the Graduate Programs catalog.
