Bachelor's Degrees
In fall 2008, Miami University's regional campuses introduced a brand new baccalaureate degree: the Bachelor of Integrative Studies (BIS). All classes take place on the Hamilton and Middletown campuses, and at the Voice of America Learning Center in West Chester opening in early 2009. Learn more about the BIS at www.regionals.muohio.edu/bis.
Bachelor's degree programs
in engineering technology and nursing may also be completed at Miami Hamilton and Middletown.
Engineering
Technology
The Engineering Technology baccalaureate degree
(Electro-Mechanical concentration or Mechanical
Engineering Technology concentration) is a completion
program for graduates of associate degree programs
in electrical/electronics, mechanical, electro-mechanical
or similar engineering technology programs. The
objective of this program is to allow students
who possess an associate degree in these areas
to complete the bachelor degree in approximately
the equivalent of two years of full-time work
(64-70 semester hours).
Electro-Mechanical
Concentration
Graduates are engineering technologists prepared
to fill industrial positions in areas directly
related to scientific programming, product design,
process control, testing, manufacturing, sales,
and service. Typical engineering technologist's
duties may include working in teams involved with
product analysis/design, instrumentation and control,
CAD/CAM product design, laboratory testing services,
product sales and service, product application,
and the design of systems that require a hardware/software
interface.
Mechanical
Engineering Technology Concentration
Mechanical Engineering Technology focuses on
applications engineering and the analysis of
the mechanical components of mechanisms, machines,
products, and systems. The program requires
a thorough understanding of applied mathematics
and the engineering sciences. Students will
develop the essential skills needed to apply
experimental and empirical techniques to the
study of systems and the solution of problems.
This knowledge is used to research concepts,
and apply modeling methods, to simulate and
test operating conditions and their impact on
the designed systems, and to synthesize different
elements to obtain an optimum design of a specific
product.
Industry is in need of qualified mechanical
engineering technologists who are able to apply
such tools as computer-aided design (CAD), finite
element modeling and analysis, and the concepts
of advanced mechanical design to the creation
of sophisticated machines and systems.
Note: The Miami University Engineering Technology Department is proud and pleased to announce the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC-ABET) has accredited its associate and baccalaureate degree programs.
Bachelor
of Science in Nursing
The Nursing program is accredited by the National League for
Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). It provides
a balance of liberal arts and professional nursing
courses. Emphasis is on the nursing process for
health promotion, prevention, restoration, and
maintenance with clients, family, and client groups
in community health settings. Students are involved
in activities preparatory for leadership and management
roles and graduate study. Clinical experiences
are one day a week.
