Engineering
Taylor University has two ABET accredited engineering programs, Computer Engineering and Engineering physics. Taylor also offers a degree in Environmental Engineering which may become accredited in the future. These programs all offer:
Strong Interaction and Collaboration with Engineering Faculty Members
When our recent engineering alumni were asked to name strengths of the engineering programs, half of the alumni commented that the availability of engineering professors was a major strength of the programs. At Taylor, the faculty work in collaboration with students, and are readily available.
"Taylor has a strong advantage in their degree due to the size of the program. Professors are very approachable and the small class sizes means personal attention is almost unavoidable. Having professors dedicated to education and students is much more conducive to learning rather than many larger universities where professors are dedicated to research grants and the publication of their name on as many documents as possible." - Recent Engineering Physics Graduate
Gaining the Ability to Acquire New Knowledge and Skills
At Taylor, we want to not only teach you the fundamentals of engineering; we want you to learn in a way that you are prepared to acquire new knowledge and skills throughout your life. The engineering profession will change greatly throughout your career, and we want our students prepared for that. Life-long learning is an important part of Taylor academics, and it is an important part of the engineering curriculum as well. In fact, in a recent alumni survey, computer engineering alumni rated their ability to "acquire new knowledge and skills" as a 3.9 out of 4.0.
"Taylor truly taught me how to seek and apply knowledge. I am often handed projects that require research or big picture because I have the ability to grab from hundreds of sources and ferret out the answers. I believe that Taylor helped to hone this ability with its many and varied research projects and classes." - Recent Computer Engineering Graduate
Learning through Real - World - Hands - On Projects
One way in which Taylor Engineering students develop such a good ability to acquire new knowledge and skills is the number and variety of projects in which they are involved. At Taylor, these projects are a part of regular course work, engineering design courses and extracurricular projects. Some recent projects include the High Altitude Research Platform, WordSurv, and Oil Well Logging .
Success after graduation
The past two years, 100% of Taylor Engineering Graduates accepted engineering positions in industry within three months of graduation. The average salary for these graduates was $55,000. Also, our students do very well in graduate studies as 50% of engineering physics graduates before 2006 have completed an advanced degree. Many of these degrees are funded by the graduate's employer.
