BSE Major
Geneva College’s Bachelor of Science (BS) in Mechanical Engineering degree program develops highly qualified engineers who can use mathematics, physics, and material science to design products, devices, and processes. Through our rigorous curriculum and hands-on projects, you become a mechanical engineer that leads in your community with excellence. By understanding the mathematical and physical principles of machines and mechanical systems and how their work relates to a Christian worldview, Geneva mechanical engineers serve God and others.
Network with mechanical engineering alumni who work at Westinghouse, Swagelok, Aerotech, and Leidos
Hone your mechanical engineering skills by working hands-on with local companies by developing innovative solutions to real-world problems
Connect your calling as a mechanical engineer to the Biblical commandment to steward creation
Learn about reactors and the energy transformation processes at work within them
Study the way solid materials change and how to manipulate them
Apply equilibrium and rate process to thermodynamics to systems like power plants, solar energy, and geothermal systems
Examine the way materials experience wear and tear over time and how to optimize designs
Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, Geneva's engineering and computer science program provides a breadth of knowledge through common core courses in programming, software engineering, computer architecture, operating systems and networks, as well as a depth of knowledge in an application area through completion of a minor or second major chosen to complement talents, interests and vocational goals.
Preamble: We encourage our students and graduates to make choices and commitments "for faithful and fruitful service to God and neighbor." For all engineering graduates, we have the following objectives:
Embrace a Christian worldview - understanding the science and technology relevant to their fields and practicing biblical ethics as they perform their work and interact effectively with diverse teams of people.
Be active members of Christian churches and engaged in church leadership roles, Christian service, and/or community service appropriate to their gifts and opportunities.
Upon successful completion of the engineering program, graduates will have achieved the following outcomes:
Behind each successful industry — whether automotive, biomedical, construction, defense, or pharmaceutical — are driven mechanical engineers. These individuals research, design, build, and test tools, machines, or engines to ensure they work properly and safely. Through the Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering degree program, students gain hands-on experience in the field of engineering. Geneva’s engineering curriculum is further enhanced by Christian values and ethics to ensure that graduates leave a lasting impact in their communities and careers.
Employers of our mechanical engineering graduates say that Geneva students demonstrate subject matter excellence and professional preparation, dependability and strong work ethic, and an exceptional ability to engage others constructively in workplace contexts.
