Integrated Laboratory Experience: Hands-on labs are embedded in most courses throughout the curriculum, starting from the freshman year. Students program and interface with embedded microcontrollers and later work with high-performance digital signal processors. This ensures continuous application of theoretical knowledge to practical engineering problems.
Senior Design Project: In the senior year, students design, build, and test a complete computer system as part of a team-based capstone project. This simulates real-world engineering challenges while fostering teamwork, project management, and system integration skills.
Student Organizations & Networking: Students can join professional groups such as the Association for Computing Machinery, IEEE, Rocketry Club, and Tau Beta Pi. They are also encouraged to engage in peer-group study and faculty-led or international research projects, expanding both their professional networks and practical experience.
Internships & Research: Florida Tech strongly encourages students to pursue internships, co-op experiences, and faculty-led or international research opportunities to gain exposure to industry practices and advanced research topics.
Industry Sectors: Employment opportunities span technology, aerospace, defense, telecommunications, robotics, and advanced manufacturing.
Further Study: The program prepares graduates for advanced study (MS, PhD) in engineering, computer science, or related fields, as well as for leadership and professional team-based environments.
