Tennessee Technological University

Overview

The Department of Biology offers several courses of study at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Undergraduate students can choose among four concentrations in the Biology B.S. degree (Biology, Cellular Biology, Environmental Biology, or Health Sciences).

Biology (BIOL)

**Options: Botany, Marine Biology, Microbiology, and Zoology

Cellular Biology (BIBC) Environmental Biology (BIEB) Health Sciences (BIHS) Why Study Biology?

Biology is the study of living organisms at all levels. Because of the complexity and amazing diversity of living organisms, biology is divided into a number of disciplines. The Department of Biology at Tennessee Tech provides all the tools and opportunities needed for the academic development of a professional in a wide range of careers within the biological sciences. Recent graduates have been employed within various government agencies including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Tennessee Valley Authority, National Park Service, and numerous state wildlife and fisheries agencies, park services, departments of health and the environment, and regulatory agencies. Additionally, many graduates go on to graduate and professional schools, such as medical, pharmacy, and physician assistant schools.... [-]

Overview

The undergraduate program has one degree, a B.S. in Chemical Engineering, but two concentration options: (1) Chemical Engineering and (2) Bio-Molecular Engineering. Both concentrations contain the same core chemical engineering courses, but the latter concentration has more of a focus on the increasingly important bio-related areas of chemical engineering.

Overview

Our mission is to provide our undergraduates with a degree in Computer Science grounded in fundamental principles of computing. We prepare our students to apply these principles creatively and responsibly.

The Computer Science Department is in the College of Engineering. Thus, degree requirements include those of the University, the College, and the Department. Computer science is a technical major program, which combines professional training in Computer Science with broad experiences across the University. Mathematics is emphasized. Our computer science curriculum is designed to educate students in the basic areas of computer science including general problem-solving techniques, architecture, concepts of programming languages, operating systems and theoretical concepts dealing with computational models and the design and analysis of algorithms....

Overview

What powers your imagination? Electrical and computer engineers have found inspiration to design, build, and test devices that power our everyday world and carry information across the globe. HD TVs, robots and intelligent systems, solar power, computer chips, new computer operating systems – they all have electrical and computer engineers in common.

Tennessee Tech's Electrical and Computer Engineering Department offers two solid undergraduate programs that emphasize the fundamentals of electrical and computer engineering and enable graduates to enter the workforce with confidence. Programs are offered which lead to Bachelor of Science degrees in Computer Engineering (B.S.Cmp.E.) and Electrical Engineering (B.S.E.E.), as well as a Mechatronics Concentration in Electrical Engineering (B.S.E.E. - Mechatronics Concentration). Both degree programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org. The discipline is divided into several areas within ECE.... [-]

Program/Department Mission:

The faculty in the Department of Exercise Science, Physical Education, and Wellness believes that individuals and society benefit from physical activity. The mission of the Department is to promote an enhanced quality of life through participation in physical activity, exercise, and sports for the people of Tennessee and beyond. To accomplish this mission, the Department offers:

A basic instruction program open to the TTU student body (physical activity courses), Undergraduate degree programs in coaching & sports administration, fitness & wellness, Physical education licensure, pre-occupational therapy, and pre-physical therapy, Program Goals and Student Learning Outcomes Program Goal 1: The EXPW Department will offer activity classes of interest outside of the team and individual sports realm to the TTU student body which fulfills the general education and elective requirements. Program Goal 2: The EXPW Department will offer degree programs in physical education licensure, pre-occupational therapy, pre-physical therapy, fitness and wellness, and coaching and sports administration. Student Learning 1: EXPW majors will demonstrate content knowledge in their chosen concentration. Student Learning 2: EXPW majors will be capable of competing for jobs in their chosen field as well as graduate study opportunities Mission ... [-]

Overview

As the largest undergraduate department on campus, we provide the rigorous, practice-based curriculum our students have come to expect. From the many active student organizations to hands-on learning experiences in capstone classes and Co-Op opportunities, we hope each of our students gains both the knowledge and experience to succeed!

Mechanical engineering is a very broad field of engineering which deals with almost all of the day-to-day applications. Mechanical engineers deal with anything that has motion - from the human body to complex machines. The breadth of mechanical engineering discipline allows students to find career opportunities in a wide variety of industries including automotive, aerospace, consumer products, oil and gas, power generation, appliances, heavy machinery, electronics, robots, healthcare, etc. Mechanical engineering is concerned with the design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems and thermal devices and processes. Some examples of products and processes developed by mechanical engineers include micro-scale sensors to large aircraft and spacecraft, engines and control systems for automobiles and aircraft, electric power generation machines, lifesaving mechanical devices, and a wide variety of consumer products....
