NEW BACHELOR'S DEGREE

After years of offering a successful Associate of Science in Engineering Studies degree, Southern Adventist University added a four-year program of its own in Fall 2023.

The new Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) program provides students with a broad foundation in engineering principles while also allowing them to specialize in Computer, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering–concentrations chosen based on national student demand data, prospective student data, competitor analysis, and curricular efficiency.

Additional concentrations, such as Civil or Chemical Engineering, may be offered in the future, depending on enrollment growth and student interest. More information is available on this webpage and in the corresponding brochure.

Together, we can help faculty and students continue to enjoy a successful BSE program launch. Join us as we prayerfully pursue this $3.5 million project which includes new personnel, new equipment, building renovations, and a program endowment.

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 55 years later! 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.
