Mechanical Engineering (Major)
With Taylor's well-rounded Mechanical Engineering major, you'll focus on designing, building and testing mechanical systems.
Projects are embedded in classes, so you'll be working on big-picture mechanical engineering projects, while being mentored by faculty with deep experience in the engineering field.
By integrating innovation and entrepreneurship with engineering, Mechanical Engineering will fully equip you to enter the workforce (or pursue graduate work) in a range of mechanically oriented disciplines. Mechanical Engineering students often pursue careers in mechanical engineering, automotive and manufacturing engineering, aerospace engineering, materials science, robotics, biomechanics, and prosthetics.

A Taylor liberal arts education will prepare you to live and work in a fast-changing world. It also goes a step further: laying a strong spiritual foundation that cultivates wisdom. You’ll become a well-versed individual, equipped with critical thinking skills, a lifelong love of learning, and an appreciation for God’s creation.
In addition to Mechanical Engineering, Taylor offers ABET-accredited programs in Engineering and Computer Engineering.
BS in Engineering
Taylor's Engineering major is a single interdisciplinary BS Engineering degree that builds a broad and robust engineering foundation applicable to all engineering disciplines, with a particular strength in mechanical and electrical. All Engineering majors choose a concentration: Electrical, Physics, or General.
BS in Computer Engineering
Computer Engineering offers a pathway to design and build new computer technology. Practical courses will integrate an understanding of computer science, engineering, physics, and mathematics by focusing on hardware design, software programming, electric circuits, mathematics modeling, embedded systems, and CPU architectures.
