BS in Engineering

Azusa Pacific’s Bachelor of Science in Engineering equips students with a solid foundation in engineering principles for a variety of fields including aerospace, agriculture, automotive, business, defense, energy, health care, and telecommunications.

ABET Recognizes APU’s Engineering Program

With ABET accreditation, students, parents, employers, and the society we serve can be confident that a program meets the quality standards that produce graduates prepared to enter a global workforce.

Learn fully integrated design and analytical solutions to complex technological challenges, as well as the processes and practices needed to coordinate the various tasks involved in the life cycle of a system, ensuring that performance, reliability, cost, and schedule requirements are met.

Students also have the option to choose from two concentrations: systems engineering and computer engineering.

Is This Major Right for You?

You’re an engineering major if you:
