The mission of the Department of Engineering and Physics is to prepare Christian professionals to assume engineering and physics leadership roles that improve the quality of life for individuals and society. To accomplish this mission, the faculty of the Department of Engineering and Physics is committed to:

Attracting highly talented and motivated students to the engineering and physics professions.
Developing relevant technical skills in students.
Developing communication and teamwork skills in students.
Raising awareness of professional and ethical responsibilities to society.
Instilling a desire and ability for lifelong learning in students.

The objectives of the Engineering Program is to produce graduates who:

Apply technical knowledge and problem-solving skills to serve the community, society, and profession.
Apply fundamental concepts of engineering to pursue advanced studies or continue their professional development throughout their careers.
Demonstrate an ability to communicate clearly, work in team settings effectively, and function responsibly in diverse environments.

Leveling Work: 0-6

As a rule, students with ACT math scores 27 and below (Math SAT 600 and below) need leveling work before taking MATH 201 . Students with ACT math scores between 22 and 25 (Math SAT between 510 and 560) should take MATH 151 (4 hours) and MATH 152 (2 hours); those with ACT math scores between 25 and 28 (Math SAT between 560 and 600) should take MATH 171 (5 hours). Leveling work increases the number of hours for an engineering major and decreases the number of electives for a physics major.
