Engineer the defeat of a destructive force of nature
火的狂暴毁灭生命, 房屋, 企业, 环境, 甚至历史,当它破坏不可替代的物品,如记录和文物. 另一种自然力量, 水, 是它的衰落吗?, 但有一种更成熟的攻击方法——应用科学和工程原理来预防, 抑制, 或者减轻火灾. That’s where 消防 Engineers come in.
我们的米.S. 消防工程专业让你沉浸在化学的科学应用中, 物理, and principles of civil and mechanical engineering to prevent and 抑制 fires. 它还会让你对火灾科学和火灾动力学有一个广泛的了解——火灾是如何开始的,以及它们的行为和传播方式. 通过了解火的行为, 你可以分析潜在的风险并设计解决方案,从一开始就防止火灾的发生.
