Elective courses in the humanities are included in each curriculum to make the student engineer more fully aware of social responsibilities and better able to consider non-technical factors in the engineering decision making process. Extensive hands-on laboratory experience leads to required projects for all seniors to ensure professional preparation in the fundamentals of the design process within the real constraints of problem solving.
Core Electives
In addition to required Freshman Year courses and specified courses for each degree program, candidates for degrees in engineering must successfully complete 12 credits from the following:
- THL 1000 - Christian Faith and Life
- One 3-credit Theology course at the 2000 level or above.
- Two additional 3-credit courses chosen from among the following:
