Engineering Programs Frequently Asked Questions

Are Keiser's engineering degree programs available online?

Yes. Keiser University’s engineering degree programs offer flexible formats, including online courses, on-campus learning, and hybrid options for students who prefer combined learning experiences. Both undergraduate engineering degrees — the Associate of Science and Bachelor of Science — include online options, giving students across Florida and beyond access to a quality engineering education without compromising their current schedule or commitments.

What is the difference between an associate degree and a bachelor's degree in engineering?

Keiser University offers two levels of undergraduate engineering degrees. The Associate of Science in Applied Engineering provides foundational knowledge in engineering technology and prepares students for entry-level technician roles in manufacturing, robotics, and systems maintenance.

The Bachelor of Science degree — available in Applied Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Applied Construction Management — offers advanced engineering principles and technical skills, preparing graduates for skilled technician positions and opening doors to supervisory, project management, design & building, and engineering management roles across high-demand industries.

What careers can engineering graduates pursue?

Graduates of Keiser University’s engineering programs can pursue careers as engineering technicians, manufacturing engineers, robotics specialists, automation engineers, quality control professionals, systems integration technicians, civil engineers, structural design engineers, construction project managers, transportation engineers, and infrastructure specialists.

Does Keiser accept transfer credits from community colleges or other institutions?

Yes, Keiser University accepts transfer credits for undergraduate and graduate-level programs. Our admissions team will work with you to review your transcripts and determine your transfer eligibility. Credits transfer based on several factors including accreditation and course equivalency. Learn more about credit transfer requirementsand eligibility requirements.

How does applied engineering differ from electrical engineering, computer engineering, and other engineering disciplines?

Engineering is a broad discipline encompassing many specializations. Traditional engineering programs — such as electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering, chemical engineering, aerospace engineering, and biomedical engineering — typically emphasize engineering design, theoretical research, and the development of new systems and technologies. Students in these programs develop deep expertise within one engineering discipline and are trained to innovate and solve complex real-world problems at the design level.

Applied engineering programs take a different approach, focusing on practical, hands-on learning and real-world experience with diagnostic, repair, and maintenance skills across electrical systems, mechanical systems, and integrated technologies. Applied engineering graduates are equipped to implement, troubleshoot, and maintain existing systems across multiple engineering disciplines — making them valuable in manufacturing, power generation, machinery design, air conditioning systems, and industrial operations.

Keiser’s Bachelor of Science in Applied Construction Management, by contrast, takes a management-focused approach rather than a design-focused one. Where Civil Engineering emphasizes structural and infrastructure design, Applied Construction Management fuses engineering fundamentals with hands-on project administration — covering cost estimating, scheduling, safety, contracts, and Building Information Modeling — to prepare graduates to plan, estimate, and supervise construction projects from start to finish, often working alongside civil engineers and design professionals to bring those designs to life.

Understanding these key differences helps prospective students choose the engineering program that best aligns with their career goals and learning style.

How does applied engineering differ from computer science or software engineering?

Computer science programsfocus on software development and computing theory, while software engineering concentrates on application development and programming within computer sciences. Applied engineering graduates work with both hardware and software systems, gaining expertise in embedded systems, operating systems, robotics, and manufacturing technology. This makes applied engineering graduates valuable to employers seeking technically skilled professionals who can bridge the gap between engineering design and manufacturing operations — a very hands-on role that sets the engineering field apart from purely software-focused disciplines.

Is financial aid available for engineering students?

Yes. Online students may qualify for grants, scholarships, and tuition assistance programs. Military veterans may also qualify for education benefits. Speak with a dedicated financial aid officer to explore all available options and create a plan that fits your situation. Learn more about Keiser University’s Financial Services.

Is Keiser University an accredited engineering school?

Keiser University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees. Learn more about Keiser University accreditation. The SACSCOC accreditation ensures Keiser University meets rigorous quality standards, which is crucial for students as it affects access to federal financial aid, the transferability of credits to other accredited schools, and recognition of degrees for undergraduate and graduate programs. This accreditation signifies that the institution adheres to standards that ensure educational quality and institutional effectiveness. Keiser’s engineering programs offer a robust and practical curriculum designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed for a successful engineering career, meeting rigorous academic and professional standards.

What will I learn in Keiser's engineering programs?

Students in the Applied Engineering program develop expertise in electronics engineering, instrumentation, programmable logic controllers, hydraulic and pneumatic control systems, robotics, and operating systems. You’ll gain hands-on experience with computer systems, embedded systems, cloud computing concepts, and information technology integration.

Coursework also covers machine learning applications, project management techniques, and the technical skills used across manufacturing and engineering technology sectors. You’ll work with programming languages including C for engineers, computer architecture, and hardware systems. Foundational courses in physics, advanced mathematics, chemistry, and engineering science provide the theoretical knowledge base essential for success in technical roles.

Students in the Civil Engineering program study structural engineering, environmental engineering, materials science, construction management, geotechnical engineering, and transportation systems. The curriculum emphasizes the application of engineering principles to solve real-world problems in infrastructure design, development, and maintenance.

Students in the Applied Construction Management program study construction estimating, project scheduling, construction safety, codes and standards, and Building Information Modeling (BIM), along with soils and concrete, mechanical and electrical systems, and construction law. The curriculum blends classroom instruction with hands-on training in construction laboratories, field projects, and an internship or capstone experience with industry partners.

Across all three programs, students build strong research skills, data analysis capabilities, and the engineering education needed to apply engineering principles to complex, real-world challenges across engineering disciplines.
