Union University's engineering program will prepare you to perform
on the cutting edge from conceptual and planning stages to the design, manufacturing, construction, operation, and management of projects. The program will not only prepare you with a sound technical base that will make licensure as a professional engineer achievable but will also educate
you with a distinctive liberal arts orientation that integrates faith and learning.

Union offers a bachelor of science degree in engineering with elective emphasis in mechanical or electrical engineering. The curriculum will prepare graduates for the practice of engineering at the professional level.
Union provides students with a strong background in the physical sciences and mathematics, as well as the fundamental humanities, giving them a well-rounded education. Incoming students are expected
to have completed the necessary requirements to begin mathematics at the level of calculus. Ideally, engineering students will have been introduced to calculus during high school. All courses in the
program are designed to fully prepare students for engineering careers.
Program Objectives
- Graduates will be equipped to apply knowledge attained through a solid engineering education built on a strong science and liberal arts foundation.
- Graduates will be equipped through the instructional environment to engage in inventive thinking and to use engineering skills.
- Graduates will be prepared for successful careers or advanced studies in engineering or other professional fields.
- Graduates will be prepared to think based on Christian principles and to act ethically in providing service to their employers, communities, churches and humanity.
