The Fire and Safety Engineering Technology (FSET) program at UNC Charlotte prepares graduates of the BSET program for careers across a broad spectrum of technologies. The program has emphasis on both technical and non-technical aspects in the fields of fire and safety. Concentrations within the program encompass Fire Safety, Fire Protection, and Occupational Safety. Many of the lower division courses are common between the concentrations, while the upper division allows specialization within the chosen concentration area. The Occupational Safety concentration is intended for students who are interested in the identification and solution of complex safety and environmental challenges. This multi-disciplinary program introduces areas encompassing construction/ built environment, electrical, mechanical, physical and natural sciences, and mathematics, in addition to providing a solid foundation in construction safety, industrial hazards and electricity, environmental pollution control, safety management, accident prevention, safety law and compliance, industrial hygiene, fire prevention and protection, and applied ergonomics and human factors. Quantitative and computer skills are heavily emphasized throughout the program and an experiential capstone experience (internship, co-op, or a supervised directed project) is required. Students completing the requirements identified for this concentration will receive a special designation on their transcripts showing they have completed the Occupational Safety concentration.
