BS in Engineering, with or without an Emphasis in Robotics
Grand Canyon University’s Bachelor of Science in Engineering was developed to address the foundational knowledge and skills required to begin a career in the various fields of engineering. This degree offers students an interdisciplinary engineering curriculum along with foundational skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in order to produce well-rounded, and versatile professionals.
Students will complete a rigorous engineering curriculum with or without a robotics emphasis which will prepare them for a variety of careers upon graduation. The Christian worldview is integrated into the classroom with importance placed on ethics and professionalism. Engineering graduates enter the workforce prepared to work in diverse teams and communicate results effectively or may opt to pursue an advanced degree.
