Applicants must possess a high school diploma or equivalent, with preference given to individuals demonstrating foundational knowledge in mathematics and industrial sciences. Prospective students should submit a statement of intent outlining their commitment to ethical stewardship and a resume reflecting academic or professional readiness for technical coursework. All applicants are subject to a holistic review process that evaluates their alignment with the university’s mission of service and integrity. Culminating Project The Capstone Project serves as the final integration point for the certificate, requiring students to design a comprehensive fleet management and optimization plan for a real-world industrial or mining scenario. This project challenges students to demonstrate their technical mastery of AI-driven logistics while explicitly incorporating frameworks for environmental stewardship and ethical decision-making. Students are expected to present deliverables that demonstrate high-level analytical capabilities and a commitment to servant leadership. Beyond technical deliverables, the Capstone emphasizes the synthesis of faith-informed character with professional practice. Students must reflect on how their proposed solutions reflect biblical stewardship and serve the broader interests of community stakeholders. This experience ensures that graduates leave with both the academic competence to excel in the industry and the moral clarity to act with integrity in their professional lives.

• Graduation requires the successful completion of all 18 credit hours with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. Students must earn a passing grade on the Capstone Project, demonstrating mastery of the program’s core learning outcomes and an ability to integrate technical knowledge with ethical inquiry. Candidates are evaluated not only on their academic output but also on their engagement with the program's community service and spiritual formation expectations.
• In keeping with the institution's commitment to holistic development, students are expected to participate in institutional chapel services and engage in community-based service hours throughout their tenure. This pairing of academic achievement with spiritual maturity ensures that graduates are not only professionally competent but also spiritually grounded, prepared to act as agents of integrity and service in their chosen industrial domains.
