Purpose

The School of Engineering functions with the purpose of teaching Christ-centered men and women with the values, knowledge, and skills critical for impacting engineering and the associated technologies for tomorrow’s world. Established in the fall of 2007, the school has the long-term vision of creating and maintaining nationally recognized technology-related degrees, centers, institutes, and initiatives in education, research, training, and missions so that our Christ-centered graduates can have the greatest impact on tomorrow’s world.

The school offers degrees that provide students with the skills, knowledge, and understanding of engineering necessary for impacting tomorrow’s socio-technological culture.

Technical Electives

Certain degrees within the School of Engineering require specific technical electives to be completed as part of the degree. The intent of the technical electives is to enhance (i.e. deepen and/or broaden) the scientific, mathematical, technological, or engineering knowledge or experience of the student in his or her career potential and development.

The following stipulations must be followed when choosing allowable technical electives in any of the residential engineering degree programs.

1

The student is limited to 2 semesters of ENGR 495 at 3 credits per semester (which will give a total of 6 hours of technical electives) to count toward technical electives, as specified in the syllabus.

2

Engineering technical electives transferred in must satisfy a Liberty University engineering specific 200, 300, 400 level course. Engineering transfer, XX courses do not satisfy this requirement, students must substitute for a current Liberty University engineering specific 200, 300, 400 level course barring special exceptions to the policy.

The student is responsible for satisfying any prerequisites for the technical electives chosen and any requirements specified in the college catalog course description [e.g., courses such as the 497 Topics & 499 Internship courses require the permission of the instructor].  Under certain circumstances and where denoted, the course instructor, in consultation with the student’s engineering advisor, has the option to approve or deny a student’s technical elective choice.

Engineering Program Learning Outcomes

The student will be able to:

  1. Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
  2. 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. Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  4. 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.
  5. Function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
  6. Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
  7. Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

Certain degrees within the School of Engineering require specific technical electives be completed as part of the degree. The intent of the technical electives is to enhance (i.e., deepen and/or broaden) the scientific, mathematical, technological, or engineering knowledge or experience of the student in his or her career potential and development.
