What You Will Learn
Our curriculum isn’t just about theory; it’s about applying what you learn in real-world scenarios. Engage in hands-on projects, state-of-the-art laboratories, and enriching internships that bring your classroom knowledge to life.
Our faculty members are not just teachers but industry veterans and researchers who are eager to share their knowledge and experiences. Learn from the best and get insights into the latest industry trends and practices.
Get involved in groundbreaking research projects right from your undergraduate years. Our program encourages participation in research, fostering an environment of innovation and discovery.
In the last two semesters, you will work on a senior design project (capstone) as the culmination of your engineering education. After developing objectives and analysis, you will create design concepts, researching implementation methods and performing a feasibility study. At the end of the final semester, you will present your project.
A minor in electrical engineering will provide you with an opportunity to take a limited number of electrical engineering courses to develop engineering skills to complement your major.
The online Engineering Professional undergraduate certificate is designed for engineering students and engineers early in their careers. This certificate combines three certificate preparation courses that deliver highly valued industry skills.
UWF programs offered at the Pensacola campus or UWF Emerald Coast may require online courses. Discuss the program requirements and planning with your academic advisor.
