Back to Nova Southeastern University
Today’s complex world values innovators with skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Nova Southeastern University’s B.S. in Engineering will help you develop these skills, along with those in economics and social and practical knowledge in order to invent, innovate, design, build, maintain, research and improve a variety of structures, tools, components, processes and more.
At NSU, you’ll explore the techniques, skills, and modern tools necessary for engineering practice. You’ll participate in hands-on projects in which you’ll conduct experiments and analyze and interpret data. Other projects will give you opportunities to design systems, components, or processes. Additionally, you’ll become proficient in areas including operations, performance testing, manufacturing, cost scheduling, benefit-cost analysis, training and support and sustainability. An engineering degree can lead you to a number of challenging and rewarding careers. NSU gives you an edge, no matter what path you choose.

Engineering Program Educational Objectives
Graduates of the Engineering Program will:
- Apply their engineering education, knowledge, leadership, and skills to analyze technical and societal problems and develop creative and responsible solutions.
- Communicate and function as an individual and team member in a professional environment.
- Serve as engineering ambassadors and leaders to apply the highest professional standards of ethics and social responsibility.
- Continue to develop their knowledge and skills through advanced study and lifelong learning.
Engineering Major Learning Outcomes
By graduation, students in the Engineering Program are expected to have attained:
- 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.
