Location Advantage
Florida Tech’s 130-acre campus is located on the Space Coast, so named because it is home to NASA and Kennedy Space Center on Cape Canaveral, minutes from the Indian River Lagoon, the most diverse estuary in North America.
The area has the fifth largest high-tech workforce in the country, with more than 5,000 nearby high-tech corporations and government and military organizations. This is of particular interest to engineering students interested in our cooperative education program, through which they complete several semesterlong, paid work experiences at companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, Northrop Grumman Corp., Boeing Co., L3 Harris Technologies Inc., Lockheed Martin, Rockwell Collins, United Launch Alliance and Kennedy Space Center—all agencies who actively recruit Florida Tech engineers for full-time employment after graduation, too.
