embark on a transformative academic journey rooted in faith with our christian-based interdisciplinary engineering degree at 世界杯2022预选赛录像回放 . this unique program integrates engineering principles, with a strong christian worldview, fostering a holistic approach to problem-solving in various fields like education, business, social work, and so many more. graduates emerge not only as adept problem solvers but also as compassionate leaders within their chosen fields.

 

our interdisciplinary foundation empowers individuals to bridge the gap between engineering and a non-engineering discipline of their choice. alongside a faculty advisor, students curate their engineering experience as well as their desired field of concentration. 

 

while our civil, electrical, and mechanical programs are abet accredited and equip students to become licensed professional engineers, this program is aimed at roles that do not require licensure. it is instead tailored for those who seek to apply engineering principles in a broader context.  graduates will have a foundation in critical thinking, teamwork, and problem solving that coupled with studies in concentrations such as business, healthcare, law, education or the arts prepare them for roles in construction management, medicine, dentistry, business, stem education, or advanced technologies.  embrace a faith-driven education that equips you to make a lasting impact as a leader and innovator.
