Purpose of the Program:
|
The Engineering Mathematics Bachelor of Science degree program at Florida Polytechnic University is designed to focus on the use of Math in the analysis and evaluation of engineering problems and scientific applications. Engineering math offers a unique program in which students acquire the in-depth understanding of the concepts based on defined mathematical principles and theoretical derivations, while practicing its real world applications. The engineering mathematics program is proposed to fill gaps in current engineering programs, specifically how to use mathematical principles to provide innovative solutions to problems of industrial value.

Graduates of the Engineering Mathematics program will demonstrate the following:
- an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
- an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
- an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
- an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
- an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
- an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
- an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
