The Engineering Department at Messiah University resides within the School of Science, Engineering & Health (SEH). Having been named several times to the Templeton Foundation’s Honor Roll for Character Building institutions, service to others is a hallmark of Messiah’s Christian tradition. Thus, Messiah Engineering students practice their technical competence through service projects in the engineering curriculum via student and faculty-led initiatives with external clients.
All engineering students participate in a multi-year project-based learning experience in consultation with this client as a primary partner. Often, such project work involves addressing the basic physical needs of underserved communities. Recently, the engineering department has also expanded its Bachelor of Science degree offerings to include discipline specific programs such as electrical engineering. This has led to investing in the Matrix Power and Energy Electronics (Locktronics) and Modern Electrical Machines equipment to support a lab on Power Electronics.
