Designing and Building Your Future
Grow as a professional and individual through Taylor’s & Engineering Department. Wherever God is calling you after graduation—the engineering industry, research and development, particle physics, academia, or the mission field—our outstanding faculty will mentor you and help you prepare for your career.
You will experience rigorous curriculum, project-based learning, and work with cutting-edge technology to prepare for a future as an engineer or physicist.
Taylor’s Engineering and Computer Engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Engineering and Computer Engineering, respectively.
God, the ultimate Designer, created us in His image with great love and care and we get the great privilege to image God to the world through our character, gifts, and roles.
As engineers, we reflect the Great Designer as we build systems, solve problems, and conduct research that honors God and serves our community. As physicists, we marvel at the incredible detail our Creator wove into creation, and who gave us the mathematical tools to understand it.
Christ-centered learning fuels our classroom discussions, our approach to teamwork, and our goals that undergird the major projects you’ll work on. We seek to integrate biblical and industry knowledge to engage in conversations regarding the ethics of technology, approach teamwork gracefully, and pursue projects that glorify God and serve humanity.
A Taylor Engineering degree holds its value on the job market, because our program meets professional standards of education that prepares graduates to enter key STEM fields.
Check out the project-based, career-focused work that you’ll be doing.
You’ll have access to a wide array of Euler Science Complex’s state-of-the-art equipment and analysis and design software. In addition to using the tools for in-class projects, students can use the machine shop, wood shop, and electronics lab to complete research and projects on virtual reality, 3D printing for habitable structures on Mars, solar cars, satellites, nano-satellites, and muscle biopsy.
Check out some of the Physics and Engineering equipment and software packages that our majors learn to use:
Put your analytical and experimental skills to work through research projects and internships.
Required Practicum
All Physics & Engineering students are required to complete at least one practicum. You'll have access to local internships, like analyzing satellite trajectories at NearSpace Launch here in Upland, or complete internships abroad at places like CERN, the European organization for nuclear research in Switzerland.
Other high-profile companies include:
Graduate-Level Research
Our students have conducted graduate-level research for NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and the Air Force.
They’ve participated in a well-drilling ministry in Central America, taken part in prestigious summer internships at major labs such as Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Argonne National Lab, Fermi Lab, and the Mayo Clinic.
But it starts here on campus, where students have worked on virtual reality, robots designed to build on Mars, and more.
Prepared for the Classroom
In addition to engaging lectures, hands-on labs, and research projects, future physics and mathematics educators engage in student teaching and take education classes that prepare them for classroom management, lab safety, and making these subjects accessible to 5th-12th grade students.
