MAY 11, 2016 – FORT MYERS, FLA. – Florida SouthWestern State College’s (FSW) School of Pure and Applied Sciences will soon offer a new science and engineering program beginning Fall 2016. The program is currently pending SACSCOC approval.

The Associate in Science (AS) Degree in Science and Engineering Technology will prepare students for occupations as life and physical science technicians in various areas including biological, chemical, and environmental science, as well as physics. It also allows degreed students to obtain baccalaureate-prerequisite classes if they plan to switch into a STEM field of study.

In addition, the Scientific Workplace Preparation Certificate will prepare students for employment in a science or engineering laboratory or to continue on to the Science and Engineering Technology AS degree.

“FSW is excited to be able to offer these new opportunities to our students as the need for a trained workforce in the STEM fields continues to grow,” said Dr. Martin McClinton, dean, School of Pure and Applied Sciences.
