UNIVERSITY CENTER OFFERS ENGINEERING BACHELOR'S DEGREES.Byline: Daily News LANCASTER - The new Lancaster University Center is offering counseling and registration for multiple engineering bachelor's degree programs. The center offers bachelor of science Noun 1. Bachelor of Science - a bachelor's degree in science BS, SB bachelor's degree, baccalaureate - an academic degree conferred on someone who has successfully completed undergraduate studies degrees in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer engineering. The center is a collaboration between California State University Enrollment  , Fresno's Engineering Department, the city of Lancaster The City of Lancaster (2002 population: 133,914) is a local government district with city status in Lancashire, England. Its main town is Lancaster, from which it obtained its city status. Other towns in the district include Morecambe, Heysham, Slyne, and Carnforth. , NASA Dryden Flight Research Center The Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC), located inside Edwards Air Force Base, is an aeronautical research center operated by NASA. On March 26, 1976 it was named in honor of the late Hugh L. and the Air Force Research Laboratory's Propulsion Directorate at Edwards Air Force Base Edwards Air Force Base, U.S. military installation, 301,000 acres (121,805 hectares), S Calif., NE of Lancaster; est. 1933. It is one of the largest air force bases in the United States and has the world's longest runway. . Additional partners are Antelope Valley College and California State University, Bakersfield As of fall 2002, some 7,700 undergraduate and graduate students attended CSUB, at either the main campus in Bakersfield or the satellite campus, Antelope Valley Center in Lancaster, California of Los Angeles County. . The center is on Division Street at Avenue I in the former Antelope Valley Fairgrounds' Challenger Hall. The city is getting ready to erect new laboratory buildings that will provide space for classes and specialized equipment necessary for upper-division mechanical and electrical engineering courses. Limited lab classes such as mechatronics and electrical engineering advanced circuit analysis are being taught in temporary facilities. The new facilities will be equipped with more than $1 million worth of equipment through an educational partnership agreement sponsored by the Air Force Research Laboratory and supported by Knowledgeworkers, a Colorado-based educational company. The center was created to address a looming shortage of American engineers as the current generation of engineers retires, a concern to the aerospace and defense industry. The Lancaster center lets Antelope Valley residents earn an engineering degree without commuting long distances and provides opportunities for work-study arrangements. Information on the engineering programs, especially for students beginning their education at Antelope Valley College, can be obtained by calling Amie Steele at (661) 723-6429, Ext. 103. |
