What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populatedfrom NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

Full-semester undergraduate or graduate courses — plan, organize, and deliver lectures on topics such as robotics or fluid mechanics with minimal faculty oversight.
Student class work, laboratory exercises, and written papers — assess consistently and return constructive feedback within established departmental timelines.
Active learning and varied instructional strategies — select and apply to engage diverse student populations in engineering degree programs.
Research manuscripts — write and revise for submission to peer-reviewed engineering journals or conference proceedings in a recognized specialization.
Grant proposal narratives and budgets — develop independently for federal or industry sponsors to secure modest external research funding.
Graduate teaching and internship activities — supervise and provide regular performance feedback to master's-level students in a departmental research group.
Professional society meetings and engineering conferences — participate in and synthesize insights to refresh course content and research directions.
CAD and CAM software environments — integrate into laboratory instruction to reinforce engineering design-and-manufacturing concepts for students.
Analytical and scientific software platforms — apply to research investigations and coach students in their appropriate use during guided lab sessions.
Cross-disciplinary engineering and mathematics knowledge — draw upon to respond to non-routine student questions and facilitate in-depth class discussions.
