DES MOINES, Wash. - Beginning next fall, Central Washington
University will begin offering its master of science in engineering
technology (MSET) degree program at the CWU-Lynnwood Center, located in
“Snoqualmie Hall” on the Edmonds Community College campus.
The CWU program is now available through a partnership at
Highline Community College and to full-time graduate students at the
university campus in Ellensburg.
Beginning in September, students will be able to attend classes in
Lynnwood two evenings each week throughout the quarter, from 5 to 9
p.m., completing their degree in two years.
“The degree will be accomplished in a cohort of students who
progress together through three quarters of two classes each, then a
summer off and another year of two classes each quarter,” Dr. Juan
Robertson, Puget Sound coordinator for the CWU MSET program, says.
“The program serves practicing industrial, mechanical, manufacturing,
and electrical engineers while they continue to work and is intended to
provide breadth in engineering knowledge, practice, and technique in
order to broaden career potentials and options.”
The degree program, including multidisciplinary classes
offered by instructors with strong academic and industrial experience,
is also suitable for technology education teachers and for faculty in
two- or four-year colleges, according to Robertson.
