The role of a fire protection engineer is to safeguard life and property from the devastating effects of fire and explosions by applying sound, multi-disciplined engineering principles to the fire protection problem. Through a combination of engineering and fire science courses, students learn how to design, construct, and install fire protection systems that prevent or minimize potential losses from fire, water, smoke, or explosions. Graduates of the fire protection engineering program are qualified to design, evaluate, or test systems responsible for the reduction of fire losses. Students are also prepared to analyze the fire protection defenses of various structures and operations and recommend cost-effective methods of improving the level of protection that is provided. Careers in this field may be in the private or the public sector. Government, insurance companies, industry, manufacturers, and consultants are prospective employers of fire protection engineers. Required Courses Students earning the B.S. degree in fire protection engineering must complete 128 credits including the University Core Curriculum and the courses listed below, some of which fulfill requirements of the University Core Curriculum. FIRE 2200 - Fundamentals of Fire Protection Engineering FIRE 2211 - Fire Protection Fluids I FIRE 2225 - Egress and Life Safety Analysis FIRE 3301 - Building Construction for Fire Protection FIRE 3304 - Fire Protection Systems FIRE 3311 - Fire Protection Fluids II FIRE 3312 - Lab FIRE 3311 FIRE 3325 - Fire and Life Safety Codes FIRE 4425 - Fire Protection Plan Review FIRE 4430 - Fire Dynamics and Heat Transfer FIRE 4460 - Fire Hazard and Risk Analysis FIRE 4497 - Research Project Or FIRE 4501 - Internship CHME 4524 - Chemical Process Safety EASC 1107 - Introduction to Engineering EASC 1109 - Project Planning and Development EASC 1112 - Methods of Engineering Analysis EASC 1120 - Chemistry with Appl to Biosystems EASC 2211 - Intro to Modeling of Engr Systems EASC 2213 - Materials in Engineering Systems EASC 2222 - Fund of Mechanics & Materials EASC 2224 - Fluid Thermal Systems EASC 2230 - Fund & Appls Analog Devices EASC 2232 - Project Mgmt & Engr Econ EASC 4415 - Professional Engineering Seminar Plus two restricted electives in fire science or engineering chosen with the adviser CHEM 1115 - General Chemistry I CHEM 1117 - Lab CHEM 1115 MATH 1117 - Calculus I MATH 1118 - Calculus II MATH 2203 - Calculus III MATH 2204 - Differential Equations PHYS 1150 - Mechanics Heat & Waves w/Lab PHYS 2205 - Electromagnetism/Optic w/Lab Plus one free elective.
