Advanced Topics offers the student the flexibility in curriculum choices to grow with their changing interests as they look forward to graduation, graduate school, and their professional endeavors.

The B.S. in Environmental Engineering applies principles from all of the natural sciences (physics, chemistry, geology, and biology) to help you tackle interconnected challenges as they relate to water, energy, air quality, and related fields.

Environmental engineers advance the science and technology of air quality, water quality, water resources, housing, and other built environments, greenspace development, and the protection of plants, animals, and their habitats. The program prepares you to address some of the greatest collective challenges of our time.

Concentrations in Modern Techniques in Sustainability
You will learn how new sensing systems can be applied to better understand and model the environment and how new approaches to data analytics can be employed to provide faster and more accurate feedback, resulting in innovative solutions to long-standing challenges. This concentration will provide insights and approaches that will drive investment and project planning among city planners, civil engineers, environmental engineers, architects, developers, and construction managers charged with assessing the economic, environmental, and social implications of sustainable and climate-resilient infrastructure.

The M.S. in Engineering program at Florida Poly attracts working professionals who seek an advanced engineering education. Rather than culminate in a research experience and a thesis, the Masters of Engineering curriculum prepares students with the necessary skills for advancing their careers in industries involved in emerging technologies, product development, and program management with specializations in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer engineering.

Engineering Management
An engineering manager directs, plans, and coordinates activities, as well as spends time supervising employees in architectural and engineering companies. They are responsible for developing the overall concepts of new products and/or solving problems that may prevent its completion.

Our B.S. in Computer Engineering combines the hardware background and aptitude of electrical engineering with the firmware and software writing skills of computer science. Computer engineers design and build embedded microcontrollers, VLSI chips, analog sensors, mixed signal circuit boards, and operating systems — and guide how these parts integrate into the larger picture.
The Department of Computer Engineering offers a comprehensive curriculum that favors a pragmatic, problem solving approach to both the body (hardware) and mind (software) components of computing.

Concentrations in Autonomous Robotic Systems
This concentration focuses on project-based and intensive courses grounded in robotics, autonomy, real-time operating systems, and systems engineering, and includes methods to analyze, model, and control robotic mechanisms in the fundamentals of kinematics, dynamics and the design and implementation of motion trajectory planning algorithms. Additional topics include state estimation and dynamic parameter identification of a robotic system. Students will learn about embedded systems control, computer vision, localization and planning, mapping algorithms, and sensor integration into real-time operating systems. Students design, assemble, and program a scale-model autonomous, self-driving vehicle. The concentration will also provide the theoretical and practical basis required for understanding Digital Image Processing fundamentals and their applications on gray and colored images as it relates to autonomous robotic programming.
