Student Outcomes

Program Educational Objectives

Our graduates will:

1. Exceed expectation of employers in both technical expertise and Christ-like character (professional ethics).
2. Continue to learn and hone technical skills to better serve humanity, who is made in the image of God, in a continuously developing industry by appropriately using God’s creation.
3. Faithfully fulfill all prescribed roles, whether as a team-member or team-leader, displaying integrity and excellence for all service is ultimately to the glory of God.

Student Outcomes

1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impacts of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and social contexts.
5. An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
8. An ability to articulate the biblical foundations of engineering and technology.
9. An ability to strive for perfection because it is motivated for Christ and Scripture.

Engineering Double Major

B.S. in Mechanical Engineering + B.S. in Computer Engineering + Biblical Studies Minor

Students can double major in Mechanical and Computer Engineering with a Bible minor. This rigorous and strategically designed program prepares students for versatile careers in industries like aerospace, robotics, or tech with an uncompromising commitment to Christ & Scripture.

4-Year Double Major Plan

Academic Catalog

The Computer Engineering (CPE) degree is designed to give students a thorough grounding in the science and applied mathematics of computing systems. It overlaps with the EE degree but places a greater emphasis on digital systems, especially computing devices. The study of hardware and the interface between hardware and software is central to the program.

Degree Checklist

Minors

The Biblical Studies minor requires 24 units of coursework. Most students typically complete these courses as part of their standard four-year degree plan. The classes include:

• B101, B102: Old Testament Survey I & II (6 units)
• B121: Essentials of Christian Thought (3 units)
• B201, B202: New Testament Survey I & II (6 units)
• BTH321, BTH322: Christian Theology I & II (6 units)
• Bible Elective: Any Bible course of choice (3 units)

In addition to their major, students can also complete a minor in any of these programs by completing the required 15-27 units, depending on the minor: Accounting, Biology, Business Administration, Communication, Computer Science, Education, English, History, Global Studies, Kinesiology & Physical Education, Mathematics, Music, and/or Political Studies.

Study & Serve Abroad

• IBEX: Study the Bible for a whole semester in the land where the Bible was written.
• Italy: Spend 6 weeks studying language, art, and culture in Florence.
• GO! Global Outreach: Opportunities for students to serve overseas through short-term mission trips. We connect them with our missionary alumni and other agencies.
