Engineering Double Major

Why Dual Degrees with Biblical Studies Minor?

This proposed four-year course plan is designed for maximum credit efficiency, comprising 17 to 18 units per semester. It enables students to strategically utilize TMU’s academic structure to fulfill the requirements for a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, and the 24 units needed to complete a minor in Biblical Studies. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance career versatility and impact.

• Integrated Biblical and Technical Excellence: This program combines cutting-edge technical training (e.g., CAD, SolidWorks, Digital System Design) with a biblical worldview to equip students for technology-driven fields while honoring Christ.
• Efficient Dual Degrees: Students can complete two high-demand engineering degrees and a Biblical Studies minor in four years, preparing them for marketplace ministry and disciple-making through their profession.
• Personalized Mentorship: Small class sizes and a Christian community with faculty who affirm TMU’s Doctrinal Statement foster sanctifying relationships and leadership development.
• Strategic Leadership Training: This program prepares students to advance technology for Christ’s glory, blending practical skills with biblical wisdom.
• Top Career Outcomes: TMU ranks #9 for Career Preparation (Wall Street Journal 2025), emphasizing heart transformation and leadership in engineering and ministry.
