Elon Engineering Program Mission

The Engineering Program at Elon University prepares students to enter the engineering profession as well-rounded, technically proficient engineers and world citizens. The unique nature of the program stems from its interdisciplinary emphasis and commitment to service. We value a variety of active-learning approaches in the classroom, a supportive, inclusive, and collaborative environment among students and faculty, and mentoring that promotes the development of substantively contributive citizens and ethical engineers. The intent of this program is to provide a stronger and broader foundation than is available in a traditional engineering curriculum, not only in the natural sciences and mathematics, but also in the liberal arts, with multiple learning opportunities to pursue engineering projects and scientific research. Our graduates are team-oriented, proficient analytical and creative problem solvers, and exhibit broad intellectual ability that complements their lifelong passion for learning and societal welfare.
