Engineering (Bachelor of Science -Engineering) 

The Engineering (Bachelor of Science -Engineering) program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Program Criteria for Engineering, General Engineering, Engineering Physics, Engineering Science, and Similarly Named Engineering Programs. 

Oral Roberts University’s Engineering (Bachelor of Science -Engineering) program empowers you with a background to apply mathematics and natural sciences to turn ideas into reality. You will be able to apply creative solutions to real-world problems within the context of a Christian world view. 

You’ll experience a liberal arts foundation and have the choice of selecting a concentration in Biomedical, Computer, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering. The opportunity to apply what you learn is available through research and design projects such as creating a racecar, a flight simulator, a hyperloop pod or a mechanical ventilator.

ORU hosts several clubs and student societies for you to get involved in that provide enrichment and professional networking:

• The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
• Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
• Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE)
• Society of Women Engineers (SWE)

Above all, our unique mission to develop Holy Spirit-empowered leaders through Whole Person Education can set you apart as an inspiring engineer called to make a difference. You’ll experience a life-transforming education that will prepare you for a career in today’s complex technology-rich world.

Our commitment to equip Spirit-empowered leaders is why you can graduate from this program fully prepared to lead with purpose. The ORU Engineering program will empower and challenge you to do your finest work!

What makes ORU’s Engineering program stand out?

Through the philosophy of Whole Person Education, we create an atmosphere of collaboration, nurture imagination and court the inspiration of the Holy Spirit by dedicating ourselves to being masters of our craft.

On top of this, you’ll learn directly from faith-grounded professionals who know what it takes to succeed in the engineering industry while leading with a purpose to make a difference.
