The Bachelor of Science degree in engineering physics prepares students primarily for graduate studies in either engineering, physics or astronomy. In particular, there is a growing need for nuclear engineers, but skills in engineering and physics can be applied in a number of different fields.

Wherever path you choose after graduation, remember that Christians trained in science and engineering disciplines are needed to face challenges in many industries, including in education, technology and national security.

What makes this degree different from a full engineering degree? Aircraft Systems is an applied degree based on the A&P maintenance technician curriculum, and involves significantly less math and theory. This degree in aviation technology prepares you to work as an aircraft engineer for a company like Cessna Aircraft. From a practical prospective, you'll know how theory and mechanical systems work together to make a working aircraft.

Biomedical engineers work alongside other health care professionals in a wide range of capacities. They might perform research to improve our understanding of how the human body works, design new devices or techniques to diagnose and treat diseases, perform motion analysis to improve the performance of professional athletes, or develop new materials that are used to make prosthetics or implants more durable.

The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering is a new degree at LeTourneau University involving a curriculum of 128 semester hours. This new degree offers students greater flexibility in their choice of courses and better alignment with curriculum recommendations from the American Society of Civil Engineers.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers the electrical engineering (EE) concentration and the computer engineering (CpE) concentration. The EE concentration focuses on the hardware aspects of electrical systems, including microcontrollers, digital signal processing, and digital systems. In comparison, the CpE concentration, while retaining many of the EE classes, adds a microcomputer design class and provides a stronger programming background by requiring additional computer science classes. Overall, however, the CpE concentration emphasizes the hardware aspects of computer engineering.

The CpE concentration offers a strong theoretical foundation as well as a rich hands-on experience. The practice is emphasized through projects, lab exercises, and the senior design project. Notably, for the microcomputer design class, the students design and build individually a single-board computer system. In recent years, typical senior design topics for CpE students have been in the areas of robotics and telecommunications. Hands-on experience is supported by 3700 square feet of lab space dedicated to the electrical and computer engineering concentrations. A 4+1 option is available to students who are interested to begin working towards a master's degree in their senior or junior year.

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering (BSECE) – Electrical Engineering Concentration is a new degree at LeTourneau University involving a curriculum of 127 semester hours.  This new degree offers students the opportunity to focus on the hardware aspects of electrical systems, including microcontrollers, digital signal processing, communications, and digital systems.
