NEW BACHELOR'S DEGREE
EXCITING ENGINEERING NEWS!
After years of offering a successful Associate of Science in Engineering Studies degree,
Southern Adventist University graduated its first group of bachelor's students in
2024.
The new Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) program provides students with a
broad foundation in engineering principles. It allows them to specialize in Computer,
Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering–concentrations chosen for Phase I and II of
program development based on national student demand data, prospective student data,
competitor analysis, and curricular efficiency.
As a result of higher than projected enrollment, additional concentrations, such as
Civil Engineering, are being considered for Phase III.
Funds Raised for Phase I and II (Phase III Coming)
SOUTHERN'S ENGINEERING INFRASTRUCTURE
Engineering courses will primarily be held in Lynn Wood Hall, space made available as departments moved to the new Bietz Center for Student Life.
PRIMARY PROGRAM GOALS
- Apply engineering principles in professional practice or advanced study.
- Engage in professional development with curiosity and discipline.
- Serve God, church, family, employer, colleagues, and society.
HONORING A LEGACY
Imagine a state-of-the-art lab where engineering students research and learn using
advanced technologies. Your gift toward a specially named space in the newly expanded
School of Engineering and Physics will help make this a reality at Southern.Henry Kuhlman, PhD, arrived on campus as a professor in 1968 fresh from graduate school—and is still teaching! His instructional work with physics and introductory engineering courses has contributed to the successful training of countless professionals who began their education at Southern. To honor Kuhlman’s legacy, we are naming an important departmental area in his honor: The Henry Kuhlman Mechanical Engineering Lab (see rendering above).
We invite you to celebrate his investment in Southern students. Gifts of support for the Henry Kuhlman Mechanical Engineering Lab can be made online.
“The Bachelor of Science in Engineering program is a wonderful addition to Southern’s academic offerings. As a profession that emphasizes designing practical solutions for the benefit of others, engineering naturally fits with Southern’s mission of equipping students to embody professional excellence and pursue Spirit-filled lives of service.”
-Tyson Hall, Dean, School of Engineering and Physics
