Prepare to perform on the cutting edge in your field, from conceptual and planning stages to design, manufacturing, construction and management. Union's engineering program offers the valuable benefit of in-depth technical knowledge built on a strong liberal arts curriculum. Learn how to think creatively and critically, and to not only see engineering in terms of design and products, but as a people-related discipline. Through this combination of innovative thinking and an emphasis on how engineered products affect people, you'll gain tools that can help you impact the world for Christ. At Union University, be transformed.
April 11 & 25, 2025The Union BSE program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, abet.org, under the General Criteria. ABET is the leading accreditation body for college and university engineering programs as well as programs in applied science, computing, and engineering technology. There are 48 students enrolled in the BSE program at Union University for the 2023-24 academic year. We had 10 graduates in May of 2023 and expect to have 5 in May of 2024.
The Ethos Forum is designed to foster creativity, entrepreneurship, innovation, and academic excellence. It includes a makerspace, a business incubator, numerous learning spaces, 171 computers, 19 classrooms and labs, 39 offices and five study rooms.
Engines, generators, pumps, and all other machines lose significant amounts of energy to the environment in the form of useless heat and sound. Although many scientists and engineers have tried to recapture that heat using various clever methods, fewer efforts have been made to recapture the lost sound energy. We are interested in exploring how much energy exists in such sound. In this study we will attempt to quantify the energy carried in sound lost from a power-producing system. We will then explore some possible methods to extract that sound energy and convert it back into useful energy, noting the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
