The ABET-accredited engineering programs at Messiah University prepare students to become innovative, ethical engineers who design solutions to serve the common good. With six distinct majors—including biomedical, civil, electrical, mechanical, robotics and general engineering—Messiah offers a comprehensive, hands-on engineering education taught from a Christian faith perspective. Our graduates are highly sought after by employers and graduate schools, equipped with real-world experience through our unique first-year design program and the nationally recognized Collaboratory for Strategic Partnerships and Applied Research.
As a biomedical engineer, you’ll learn how to apply mechanical engineering principles to health solutions, including work in medical assistive technology and medical equipment. Using engineering design and problem-solving skills, you’ll help advance health care diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
The biomedical concentration teaches you how to apply mechanical engineering principles to health solutions, including work in medical assistive technology and medical equipment. Using engineering design and problem-solving skills, you’ll help advance health care diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
As a civil engineering major at Messiah University, one of the top private Christian universities in the U.S., you will be prepared to design and construct infrastructure projects such as roads, buildings, airports, water treatment plants and more.
By taking courses in both computer science and electrical engineering, you’ll prepare for a career that deals with using computers to control electrical systems. In this program, you’ll explore both the art and science of engineering in preparation for creative professional practice.
As an electrical engineering student at Messiah, you will be prepared to create new ideas, as well as design and develop new products. From Smartphones to cars, medical technology to clean energy, electrical engineers strive to positively influence the world in great ways.
Messiah is one of a handful of Christian universities in the country with an ABET-accredited undergraduate program that offers our unique mix of six types of engineering degree concentrations. You can choose to concentrate in biomedical engineering, civil engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, and you also have the option to earn a Bachelor of Science in engineering without a concentration.
With an environmental engineering minor or concentration from Messiah University, you'll gain the ability to plan for a new structure, including assessing the environmental impact on existing natural resources. Overall, an environmental engineer focuses on how humans, industry and the environment can work together.
As a mechanical engineering student at Messiah University, you’ll learn how to combine motion, energy and force to create mechanical solutions. You’ll be challenged to think outside the box and develop tools that will impact and improve society.

Starting in your second year, you’ll apply your engineering knowledge to real-world projects that serve the needs of clients in Christian missions—both in Pennsylvania and around the world. Through the Integrated Projects Curriculum (IPC), a five-semester, credit-bearing partnership with The Collaboratory, you’ll gain hands-on experience solving authentic problems such as designing prosthetics, wheelchairs and other assistive technologies. By the time you graduate, you’ll have developed strong project management and technical application skills that prepare you for your first professional role. And if you’re eager to get involved sooner, you can volunteer with The Collaboratory during your first year.
Messiah University offers high school juniors and seniors a unique opportunity to explore and experience career possibilities in engineering through the Engineers for Tomorrow program.
At Messiah University, engineering is about more than equations and blueprints. Our program equips you to think critically, communicate clearly and serve compassionately. Through hands-on projects, teamwork and real-world client partnerships, you’ll develop both the technical and professional skills to discern needs and deliver meaningful results. Rooted in faith and excellence, Messiah engineers graduate ready to solve problems and make a difference in the world.
In addition, you’ll get to use our specialized facilities, including a professionally staffed machine shop; state-of-the-art mechanical, electrical, environmental and biomedical engineering labs; industry-standard engineering software, in-house circuit prototyping equipment and a robotics lab.
