Associates in Science  in Petroleum Engineering (A.S.P.E.)

Description: The Associates in Science in Petroleum Engineering program ensures that students have a strong foundation of math, physics, chemistry, geology, and the engineering sciences. Topics include, but not limited to learning the differences in drilling fluids, fluid behavior, geological formations, planning and building oil wells, risk analysis,  reservoir engineering, fracking, writing skills, and industry management. Course projects will give you near-real-world experience in work-place dynamics. Our Associates in Science  in Petroleum Engineering emphasize lifelong learning, teamwork, critical thinking, innovation, and global impact of work. The A.S.P.E. curriculum provides the foundation to continue with the Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering

Objectives: The objective of the A.S.P.E.) is to pre-pare students for entry level management positions in the Oil and Gas industry, and to lay the groundwork for the B.S.P.E. program, by:

  • Develop the ability to identify, formulate, and solve petroleum engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
  • Apply an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
  • Able to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
  • Able to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
  • Have the ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
  • Understand how to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Agriculture 

Department Chairperson: Elias Alonzo, Ed.D. 

Program Director: Interim Director, Tiffany Coward Kennedy, M.S. 

Faculty: Carlos Cotto, M.S.A. 

Mission Statement of the Program 

In support of the University mission, the Agriculture Department is comprised of creative, highly qualified professionals dedicated to preparing our students for entry-level opportunities and long-term career success, providing a fulfilling experience for members of our faculty, and making meaningful contributions to the professional and academic communities we serve. 

The Agriculture Program offers a B.S. and an A.S. in Agribusiness. The program is committed to providing a wide range of tools necessary for successful admission to graduate school. The program seeks to develop professional and practical scholarship through exploration of fundamental and contemporary concerns, including those dealing with ethical issues. Such an education provides the graduate with a background suited to meeting the needs of a challenging job market. 

The Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness will put you on a career path to work for local, national, or international accounting and consulting firms. Opportunities are also available in Agribusiness, higher education, government agencies, and not-for-profit organizations. Students may also choose to earn an Associate of Science degree for quick entry into the workforce and a foundation for further education, or to minor in Agribusiness as a supplement to another ACIU major. 

Program Outcome Objectives 

Upon completion of this program, it is expected that students will: 

  1. Demonstrate knowledge of current accounting principles, tax law, current auditing standards, and the use of accounting information by management.
  2. Develop critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills.

  3. Apply accounting theory in a practical manner.
  4. Demonstrate technology skills necessary to solve accounting problems.
  5. Meet the requirements for entry-level careers in accounting such as auditing, corporate accounting, governmental, not-for-profit organizations, and taxation.
  6. Demonstrate the capability to critically and reflectively engage ethical issues in accounting, particularly questions pertaining to social responsibility and professional practice.
