Engineering
Program Overview
Simpson University’s bachelor’s degree program in engineering offers expert training in engineering principles and design. Students are prepared for success in the engineering profession through collaborative, hands-on classroom experiences that encourage personal and spiritual growth.
Engineering graduates from Simpson are qualified for professional practice or graduate work in several areas of specialization. In addition to fundamentals of science and mathematics, the program provides a solid background in circuits, analog and digital electronics, microprocessors, and electromagnetics. The senior-level classes offered for electrical/electronic engineers include control systems, communication systems, digital signal processing, electro-optics, radio frequency circuits, and digital system design
The bachelor’s in engineering degree program infuses faith with analytical, technical, and creative thinking skills for a comprehensive experience that prepares students to impact and serve the world. Students enrolled in the engineering program experience:
- Small Class Sizes
- One-On-One Mentoring
- Project-Based Learning
- Modern Equipment and Technology
- Internship Opportunities in Local Industries
- Faith-Infused Curriculum
Courses are designed to provide students with career-building skills and an entrepreneurial mindset that encourages students to explore their passions and ideas beyond the classroom.
PREPARING STUDENTS TO ENHANCE AND TRANSFORM THE WORLD
PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Graduates from the Simpson General Engineering Program should be able to:
1. Contribute to solutions of engineering problems by applying engineering principles, technical knowledge, experience with modern industry tools while acknowledging of the impact that their engineering solutions can have on global, societal, and environmental issues.
2. Assume leadership roles in their organizations, as needed, and demonstrate ethical behavior and responsibility in their engineering practice.
3. Engage in activities that sustain and promote their careers by securing a professional license, completing graduate courses or degree programs, participating in events sponsored by professional societies, and pursuing informal learning opportunities.
4. Contribute to society by applying Christian-centered values to the solution of engineering problems.
STUDENT OBJECTIVES
Students graduating with a BS in General Engineering should have:
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 in both oral and written forms
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
