Concentrations/ Programs

meet_ben.gifDistinctives

  • 4 Year degree program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)     
  • Small class sizes
  • BSE in Engineering with concentrations in: Civil, Mechanical, Computer & Electrical.
  • Unaccredited Bachelor of Science is also available in Chemical Engineering
  • 100% job placement in last 10 years for graduates
  • Christian worldview emphasis
  • Liberal arts core classes to broaden the educational experience


Outcomes

  • Geneva engineers have experienced 100% job placement in addition to strong internships while students.
  • Geneva engineers have gone on to graduate school at: Princeton, University of Pittsburgh, The Ohio State University, North Carolina State University, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and others.  
  • Employers of Geneva engineers: IBM, U.S. Navy, General Electric, Pratt & Whitney Aircraft and many others. 


Projects

  • Solar Splash - The world championships of solar/electric boating is an international intercollegiate competition.  This provides practical educational experience as students design, build and race boats.  The competition includes a sprint and maneuverability qualifier and a “solar slalom”.  Geneva students have experienced much success at this competition.
  • Robotics Competition - Students competing in this event design and build an autonomous robot.  This robot is programmable through software.  Students maneuver robots through various robotic functions including a soccer match.  Traditionally, Geneva’s electrical engineering students perform very well in this competition.
  • Steel Bridge Building - Sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), this event is traditionally for civil engineering students.  This competition provides practical experience in structural design, fabrication processes, construction planning, organization and teamwork.  Competitors are judged upon safe construction methods, stiffness (low deflection under loading), construction speed, aesthetics, efficiency and economy.
  • Senior Projects - Geneva engineers often work with industrial and governmental clients through Geneva’s Center for Technology Development.  Students participate in the research, development and design of projects including: enhancing the reliability of an artificial heart pump, design of a virtual reality system, and seismic retrofit of an existing bridge.


Mission
The mission of the Engineering Department is to glorify God by educating and ministering to a diverse community of students for the purpose of developing engineering professionals who will see their careers as a calling from God in which they may glorify Him and love their neighbors, providing excellent engineering services in an environment of technological change.
