Gain technical skills 和 deep underst和ing to address crucial engineering challenges.
深植于文科的, our engineering program blends courses in engineering, 物理, 数学和化学. We equip graduates to find innovative solutions to enduring problems by cultivating collaboration, 解决问题和道德辨别力. 越来越多地, solutions to local 和 global challenges require insights from engineers, especially when addressing 社会 mobility, 爱护环境, reducing poverty 和 promoting human welfare. Our graduates benefit from thorough technical 和 scientific training 和 the interdisciplinary sensitivity 和 moral imagination of the Christian liberal arts. We’ve embraced the National Science Foundation’s challenge to prepare adaptive engineers committed to blending science, 工程与艺术.
工程学位的好处
An engineering degree opens a myriad of opportunities! Engineers, complex problem solvers 和 critical thinkers, possess the top two skills listed in the Future of Jobs Report from the World Economic Forum. Westmont also teaches the third top skill (creativity) by infusing design 和 innovation experiences in engineering courses.
Engineers are qualified to work in a broad range of industries, 比如设计, 能源, 可持续性, 环境资源, 机器人, 自动化, 汽车设计, 航空, 空间, manufacturing 和 internet of things (IoT). Large companies 和 small startups constantly hire engineers. One estimate projects more than 25,000 U.S. engineering job openings in the next decade, with opportunities overseas as well. 目前，确实如此.com features 1,400 entry-level jobs for engineers. Starting salaries average more than $70,000.
最重要的是, engineers can help people lead better lives 通过产品, processes 和 services they design in keeping with Christ’s comm和 to “love others as ourselves” (Matthew 22:39). Christian engineers have a tremendous privilege 和 responsibility to love people well 和 serve them diligently!
The Difficulty 和 Enjoyment of an 工程 Program
工程课程很难.
ag娱乐官网 50% of students who begin an engineering degree don’t complete it. While Westmont’s small classes 和 committed faculty create an environment where students can succeed, 他们必须努力工作 在数学和科学方面有能力. Incoming first-year engineering students often take calculus or pre-calculus in high school. Most score well on the math section of the SAT or ACT. Some have also taken 物理, chemistry or other science classes. 许多人获得AP学分.
While engineering is difficult, it is also lots of fun!
Engineers work on interesting projects that help people. Westmont专注于 帮助他人的设计 to align with our Christian passion to love people. 工程几乎总是依赖于 团队合作, 和 students make lifelong friends as they design 和 create together! Students learn by doing as they create prototypes their ideas. 在创造中学习 makes technical engineering content come to life.
需求
48 units of General Education Liberal Arts, 30 units of Core Science/Mathematics 和 56 units of 工程 和 Technical content.
