The Engineering Faculty has adopted engineering criteria (1) through (7) for student outcomes, as expected from the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, in addition to criteria (8) which focuses on spiritual growth.
Students will gain an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
Students will gain an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
Students will gain an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
Students will gain an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
Students will gain an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
Students will gain an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
Students will gain an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
Students will gain an ability to demonstrate Christian servant-leadership by practicing spiritual disciplines and redemptive community service. This is honed through the development of personal knowledge, skills, habits, and relationships that enable Christian Growth and active involvement in service to Christ and His Kingdom.

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.
Build your teamwork skills as you work on major projects. At Taylor, your engineering curriculum includes large-scale projects. Work alongside your peers while your faculty mentors you, every step of the way. Explore a few of the exciting projects our students are involved in.
Satellites
We partnered with NASA in 2001. In 2014, we launched Indiana’s first ever university satellite, paving the way for other universities, high schools, and robotics teams. Since then, we have launched many satellites, including CubeSats, NanoSats, and ThinSats.
Mars Habitat Robot
A team of engineers developed a 3D printer that could facilitate the future colonization of Mars, in hopes of paving the way for humans to step foot on Mars. The team combined the technology of mobile and gantry units into a single system.
Virtual Reality System
Engineering Computer Science students worked on a complex walking interface for virtual reality. They created a prototype of a walking interface that includes 2 mobile footpads on rails, a user tracking subsystem, a control subsystem, and a safety subsystem.
Hovercraft
Students enrolled in the Principles of Engineering class learn to design and build remotely controllable Hovercraft. They analyze prop thrust, lift, control systems, and design complete systems in CAD software, print and cut 3D model parts, and work with electronic controls, and radio frequencies.
