Engineering Department

Engineering involves the knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences gained by study, experience, and practice, applying them with judgment and creativity to develop ways to utilize the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind. The mission of the engineering department at Florida College is to prepare students for careers and leadership in mechanical engineering and related disciplines, as well as lives of service to their Creator and humanity. This engineering education integrates biblical concepts that encourage further study of the nature and will of God and provides an environment allowing for creativity with moral clarity.
