Flexible programming lets scholarship winner put family first
Engineering student Justin Davidson and family
When he decided to pursue his master’s degree in engineering, flexibility was the number one priority for Justin Davidson. With a busy work schedule and five active young daughters, Davidson needed a program he could tailor to his lifestyle. Luckily, he knew right where to find one.
“I obtained my BS in Industrial Engineering through UW-Platteville, so it was the first and only school I looked at for my MS in Engineering Management,” Davidson said. “Being able to take the necessary courses online through a fantastic university such as Platteville allowed me to maintain my relationship with my kids and continue to support their activities, while completing my studies in my free time.”

Patient also teaches Private Security Operations on campus, in addition to Foundations of Interviewing and White Collar Crime. He will add a course on cybercrime in the future.
