GCU Engineering is part of the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) which is a community of more than 3,000 engineering faculty and staff across the nation. The purpose of KEEN is to give students the opportunity to generate an entrepreneurial mindset so they may have the ability to create meaningful change in their community. Through this partnership, GCU and all engineering students are part of an immersive community can foster collaboration and communication in engineering projects.
Throughout your studies in GCU Engineering, you’ll have access to labs and industry equipment that are typically used in professional settings and not commonly accessible to undergraduate students. The purpose of these facilities is to combine lecture and lab classrooms, enabling activity-based learning alongside theoretical instruction. Programs outside the classroom are also available for students to gain additional experience.
Below are examples of the equipment and research opportunities available to GCU engineering students can prepare them for a career in the industry.
