Our program helps our students develop skills for their future. Students will be able to integrate their knowledge, experience and critical thinking skills to solve new and challenging problems in your chosen career field. Students are expected to demonstrate an ability to develop or autonomously extend a research project that advances fundamental or applied scientific understanding and communicate effectively with technical and nontechnical audiences with clear and articulate oral or written discourse. Lastly, students learn how to make effective use of diverse information resources such as published scientific literature, technical databases and other forms of authoritative internet-based content.
