Additional Disclosures

BS in Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering was developed with industry guidance to address the broad, foundational knowledge and skills required to be contributors as engineering project managers, project engineers, technical project managers, quality engineers, engineering managers, test engineers, design engineers or sales engineers. This program teaches topics and assesses competency in solid mechanics, material science, organizational behavior and management, lean and quality management, business process design, production/operations management and quality control.

This program integrates math, chemistry, physics and biology and emphasizes critical thinking, practical application and project management experience. In addition, students can develop valuable workplace skills, including effective communication, teamwork, initiative, strong work ethic, analytical skills, adaptability and self-confidence. Students can learn professional and ethical practices associated with engineering through the lens of the University’s Christian worldview.
