Future Students


As the first program of its kind in Tennessee, our applied engineering program bridges the gap between theoretical ideas and the practical application of those ideas in today’s leading industries. Students in our applied engineering programs will learn through hands-on experience from day one.  Whether you join our software engineering concentration or our manufacturing concentration, our classes are set up for you to learn by doing, gaining practical experience prior to learning the theoretical concepts that make the systems and tools you’re using work.
