Mission

The mission of the Mathematics and Science Department is to provide a broad technical education that will prepare students for further study and careers involving mathematics, science and engineering.

Vision

The vision of the Mathematics and Science Department is to offer a group of rigorous courses that will provide students with a solid foundation in calculus, chemistry, engineering and physics, including both theory and practical applications. The department aims to prepare students for (1) a seamless transition to another four-year university with junior standing in mathematics, engineering or a science-related major, or (2) entry into the technical work force.

 

Goals

The goals of the Mathematics and Science curricula are to

  • Develop the student’s ability to apply knowledge of calculus, chemistry, engineering and physics;
  • Advance the student’s analytical thinking and problem solving skills;
  • Instill in students the ability to use the techniques, skills, materials, modern equipment and tools necessary for technical practice; and
  • Enhance the student’s teamwork and communication skills essential to success in a technical career.
