Our Mission.
The mission of the Department of Engineering and Physics is to provide quality educational and research opportunities for the next generation of leaders in engineering, physics, and related professions.
Today's competitive, rapidly changing world requires depth and agility in the workplace. To prepare students to meet these challenges, UCO and the College of Mathematics and Science provides students with opportunities for life-changing intellectual experiences that take place both inside and beyond the classroom. We call this "Transformative Learning".
Specific objectives are to:
Provide quality general education service courses of appropriate level to challenge students to enlarge their perspective in the physical world.
Provide service courses both in fundamental engineering and physics to support computer science, chemistry, health science, and other disciplines.
Provide a BS Engineering Physics-Science program that meet the needs of students by seeking excellence through curriculum flexibility, depth and breadth of coverage, research opportunities, and personal contact with students.
Provide opportunities for students to take portions of their physics and engineering courses at UCO before transferring to other institutions, and provide opportunities for students that have completed a portion of their training at other institutions to complete their degree program at UCO.
