Programs in Engineering and Computer Science

Our programs in Engineering and Computer Science are housed in the Kinsley Engineering Center, located on Grantley Road on our West Campus. The 43,000-square-foot building fosters interactions and cross-disciplinary projects among the four technical majors. The Kinsley Engineering Center is a student-oriented facility containing state-of-the-art laboratories and a large common area where the students from various majors can go to study, interact, work on collaborative research projects or just relax.

 

Mechanical Engineering 

Mechanical engineering, the broadest of all engineering disciplines, has long played a key role in adapting scientific knowledge to societal needs. In virtually every sector of our economy, mechanical engineers design machines, processes, and mechanical systems of all types.

Renewable Energy Project

 

Kala Meah, Ph.D., taught students about renewable energy in a class this summer. The students together were tasked to build a photovoltaic system that adhered to the following guidelines:

  • 500 Watt system
  • Battery Backup system
  • $3000 budget

The objectives of the project were to gather the pros and cons of alternative energy systems and to gain real life experience in the rapidly growing field of alternative energy production.
