Students in our technical and professional writing program can make complicated material both understandable and usable for real-world audiences.

As a UD Intervention Specialist major, you will learn skills necessary to teach students with mild to intensive disabilities through coursework in development and content, clinical experiences and community engagement opportunities.  You will gain an understanding of students at various ages and stages of development, and from various cultures, socioeconomic levels, ethnic groups and ranges of abilities.  You will have the opportunity to supplement your teaching license with additional credentials in preschool special needs, urban education, Catholic education, the education of speakers of other languages or specific certification in supporting students with Dyslexia.  A STEM lab and Curriculum Materials Center are among the numerous resources available to you.

Our students are taught by an outstanding array of scholar-teachers in areas of inquiry that include American politics, public law, public administration, international relations, comparative politics, public policy, environmental politics, urban politics and political theory.

As a UD Middle Childhood Education/Intervention Specialist major, you'll learn the knowledge and skills necessary to educate and support children in their transition from childhood to early adolescence. You'll specialize in two areas of concentration, choosing from mathematics, reading/language arts, science, and social studies. You'll also earn a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) certificate. A STEM lab and Curriculum Materials Center are among the numerous resources available to students.

As a chemical engineering major, you will apply the principles of multidisciplinary sciences, problem solving, economics, and human relations to develop new products and processes, as well as design, build, and supervise facilities that convert raw materials into products and services for the common good.

Our chemical engineering program will provide you with fundamental science and engineering skills, applied engineering knowledge, and extensive experiential laboratory learning which culminate in a real-world design capstone. UD successfully integrates these core technical competencies with a balanced general education, opportunities for industrial or research involvement, and an overarching community environment, to create a unique, well-rounded educational experience that will prepare you for later success in the workforce, graduate school, or professional school.

There is more than one way to start an engineering career. If you are a hands-on person who enjoys learning by doing, engineering technology may be the pathway for you to become an engineer. Our Mechanical Engineering Technology program offers technical courses that teach you to use creativity and rational thinking to solve problems in design, manufacturing and management, as well as science and mathematics courses that provide you a solid foundation for future studies or career development.

With our small class sizes, faculty members with real-world engineering experience, and state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, we utilize hands-on learning to equip students with applied engineering knowledge and skills.
