School of Engineering and Technology

The School of Engineering and Technology continues to change and expand just as science does. The newly launched school will continue to expand its offerings in both undergraduate and graduate programs. Our strength continues to be our student-centered hands-on approach to helping our students learn and understand STEM. Students have access to our faculty not only in the lecture hall but in every laboratory as well. We will create unique academic space and instructional approach to meet the demand of new engineering industry. This helps them develop a firm foundation in academic coursework that will carry them forward to internships and research experiences both on campus and at many of the region’s scientific institutions and companies. We take pride in our students’ success, both at Kentucky State University and after graduation, knowing that we are helping them make a local and global impact by creating solutions and developing technologies that address society's challenges.

PROGRAMS

Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Engineering Technology

Welcome to the Manufacturing Engineering Technology Program at Kentucky State University! Our program is dedicated to prepare individuals to apply basic engineering principles and technical skills to the identification and resolution of production problems in the manufacture of products. The program includes instruction in machine operations, production line operations, engineering analysis, systems analysis, instrumentation, physical controls, automation, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), manufacturing planning, quality control, and informational infrastructure.

This program can offer graduating students an opportunity to build a rewarding career in additive manufacturing that is more focused than other broad-based models in order to meet the need of semi-conductor/chip manufacturing industry due to increasing demand for smart devices and smart automobiles. Our faculty members are experts in their respective fields and passionate educators and mentors committed to student success. With small class sizes, we ensure personalized attention and a collaborative atmosphere where students can thrive.

 

Bachelor of Science in Biological and Agricultural Engineering

Welcome to the Biological and Agricultural Engineering Program at Kentucky State University! Our program will prepare individuals to apply fundamental knowledge of biological and physical sciences, mathematics, and engineering principles to formulate and solve engineering problems. Engineering design is integrated throughout the curriculum, along with opportunities to develop communication, learning, and teamwork skills, culminating in a capstone design experience. In addition, student would require to gain summer internship experience starting from sophomore year until graduation. In order to be successful biological and agricultural engineers, students need to acquire a set of skills, knowledge, and behaviors as they progress through the curriculum.

Our faculty members are experts in their respective fields and passionate educators and mentors committed to student success. With small class sizes, we ensure personalized attention and a collaborative atmosphere where students can thrive. 

 

Master of Science in Biological and Agricultural Engineering

The Biological and Agricultural Engineering program is housed in the School of Engineering and Technology in the College of Business, Engineering, and Technology (CBET). The School of CBET offers programs of study leading to the Master of Science in Biological and Agricultural Engineering (MSBAE). The MSBAE) degree provides students with a combination of experiences in basic research, design, and practical applications beyond the undergraduate level. Students have the option to pursue a thesis or non-thesis/capstone 36 credit hours in Master of Science degree. The specialization areas can include food process engineering , Hydrology and water systems management including soilless food systems. The Master of Science thesis option degree requires students to complete advanced course work and to become skilled in research methods and applications. Students are expected to plan, conduct and analyze a comprehensive research project, and to report the findings in a thesis. The Master of Science non-thesis/capstone option degree requires students to complete advanced coursework along with a capstone/directed studies course.
