ACU’s Bachelor of Science in General Engineering is an ABET-accredited undergraduate programme that blends classroom theory with hands-on design, workshop practice and team-based clinic projects. It suits students who want a broad engineering foundation with options to concentrate in civil, electrical, mechanical or construction management pathways and who value experiential learning and faith-informed professional formation.

What you'll study

Coursework combines core engineering science with applied design and laboratory practice. Example subjects listed in the programme materials include:

  • Thermodynamics
  • Fluid Mechanics
  • Material Science
  • Mechanics of Materials

Students develop communication skills, workshop and prototyping ability, team-based design, and experimental methods. Junior and senior clinic projects integrate real-world problems from corporate, public and non-profit partners. A year-long senior research assignment is part of the programme, and students may pursue study abroad options in Spain or Germany.
