The Engineering (BSEngr) program at Southern Arkansas University holds accreditation from ABET's Engineering Accreditation Commission (https://www.abet.org), meeting General Criteria without specific program requirements. The program operates from a modern, purpose-built facility adjacent to a recently updated residence hall partially designated for science students. Curriculum focuses on addressing engineering challenges and gaining hands-on experience via internships. The bachelor's degree offers comprehensive training in materials mechanics, structural systems, and control mechanisms. Our engineering initiative benefits from strong collaborations with regional industries, where practical learning through corporate internships enhances real-world problem-solving capabilities. Students must complete a senior capstone design project under faculty supervision.
Within three to five years post-graduation, after earning a four-year general engineering degree from Southern Arkansas University, graduates are expected to:
Utilize core engineering design and analytical abilities to progress beyond entry-level positions and develop professionally within the engineering sector,
Serve as responsible community members and supporters of democratic society through technical expertise, ethical practice, social awareness, leadership, and communication competencies, and
