Mechanical engineering is the foundation of innovation — designing everything from engines to medical devices. You’ll learn how things work, how to make them better and how to build solutions that shape the future. It blends creativity with hands-on skills and real-world problem solving. If you’re curious, inventive and want to make an impact, this is where it starts.
Hands-on learning means you won’t just study concepts — you’ll apply them in real projects and labs. You’ll design, build and test machines, systems and prototypes from day one. Using 3D printers, wind tunnels and robotics kits, you’ll gain experience that mirrors the real world. It’s learning by doing — building confidence, skills and a strong engineering mindset.
You’ll be challenged to see engineering not only as a career but also as a calling to serve others and glorify God. Courses and projects are designed to build leadership, teamwork and integrity — preparing you to lead with character in any industry. Through studying how the world works, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for God’s creation and be equipped to design solutions that improve lives and honor him.
Mechanical engineering core competencies like fluids, dynamics, thermodynamics and materials engineering all apply to a variety of transportation industries. These include automotive, aviation, rail, marine and space. Mechanical engineers are key to producing the next generation of vehicles that meet our transportation needs.
Technology is integrating into our lives more every day. This increases the need for more mechanical engineers that are focused on designing and building the robots, drones, robotic prosthetics and other devices that will perform and support human tasks.
Manufacturing engineers design and implement efficient systems to manufacture specific products. Thay are familiar with every step of the product manufacturing process, choosing or designing the best equipment for the production of the product.
