Mechanical, Electrical Engineering degrees to be offered.
Quincy University has announced two new degree programs, starting next fall.
The University announced Tuesday that it will launch its' Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering major degree programs. Both engineering programs will begin at QU in the Fall of 2024. A statement from QU says that Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering are two of the traditional engineering disciplines and, nationwide, often are the two engineering majors most popular with students. At Quincy University, the Electrical Engineering program will prepare students to design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacturing of electrical and electronic equipment. The Mechanical Engineering program will prepare students to design, develop, build, and test mechanical and thermal sensors and devices, including tools, engines, and machines. QU says that high school guidance counselors, along with many regional high school sophomores and juniors, will soon get messages about QU’s new engineering programs. The University says that regional industries told them that they need more mechanical and electrical engineers.
QU says it will work to develop pre-engineering relationships with regional high schools and to create summer camp opportunities for engineering students. Establishing the engineering degree programs will also give QU the ability to offer continuing education units for engineers in the region.
