BS in Engineering
85-87 units
Azusa Pacific’s BS in Engineering equips students with an excellent foundation in principles that prepare them for careers in a variety of engineering fields, including aerospace, agriculture, automotive, business, computer science, defense, energy, and health care. The engineering curriculum includes courses in mechanics, electrical circuits, electronics, digital systems, and control systems, and all courses are strongly anchored on foundational coursework in mathematics and physics including calculus, differential equations, and probability theory. Three concentration areas are available: mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer engineering.
A two-semester design project in the senior year challenges students to work in teams and design, build, and test a major engineering product as the culmination of all coursework completed. These projects usually involve external sponsors and mentors. An engineering internship that provides hands-on experience also is part of the curriculum requirements.
Job opportunities for engineering graduates are plentiful in Southern California, nationwide, and globally—a multitude of aerospace, entertainment, construction, and electronics companies need mechanical, electrical, systems, and computer engineers.
Requirements
Academic advising is required each semester; consult with the department for each semester’s offerings, since courses are not necessarily offered every semester.
Engineering students are required to have a laptop for classroom work.
