Engineering Programs
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineers design, develop, build, or test mechanical and thermal devices for every setting imaginable. Every tool, engine, or machine has been developed by a mechanical engineer.
Electrical Engineering
Electrical engineers create devices which use electricity, contain electronics, or rely on electromagnetism-and electrical engineers are found in nearly every industry sector of our economy.
Computer Engineering
Computer engineers design and develop the computer processors, circuit boards, memory devices, networks, and routers that form the physical foundation of our ever-changing tech landscape.
Software Engineering
Software engineers are vital to nearly every modern workplace, with specialized skills in programming and an ability to manage software and networking projects.
Dual-Degree Program
Take three years of foundational engineering courses and then transfer to specialize beyond what Bethel offers. Popular options include aeronautical, biomedical, bioproducts, chemical, civil, environmental, or materials engineering.
Preparation for Graduate Engineering
Participate in International Research
"Forget molecules. Forget atoms. Those are all humongous. We’re looking at individual, fundamental particles,” says Assistant Professor of Physics Julie Hogan, recipient of a National Science Foundation (NSF) Research in Undergraduate Institutions grant. As a student, you could travel to do research alongside Hogan, searching for new supermassive particles at one of the premier scientific collaborations in the world: CERN in Switzerland. “We’re working with thousands of other people and really asking ‘what is new out there that we’ve never thought of before, that we’ve never had a model to describe?’”
