Accreditation

The 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. In keeping with ABET guidelines, Union has established the Educational Program Objectives and Student Outcomes shown below. 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.

Program Educational Objectives

  • Graduates will make contributions through engineering practice, graduate school, or other professional pursuits.
  • Graduates will solve problems through inventive thinking.
  • Graduates will participate in continuing education.
  • Graduates will exemplify Christian principles and ethical standards.

Student Outcomes

Each student will have:

  1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
  2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
  3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
  5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
  6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
  7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

These outcomes are taken directly from the ABET website.

Professional Licensure Disclosure

Important Note for Prospective Students: Please note that Union University (UU) programs that may lead to a professional licensure or certification (e.g., Accounting, Social Work, Teacher Education, Pharmacy, Nursing, etc.) are designed to meet the licensure requirements for the State of Tennessee. The University does not explicitly or implicitly attest that licensure programs meet the licensure requirements for any state other than Tennessee. It is highly recommended that you first seek guidance from the appropriate licensing agency in your home state BEFORE beginning the academic program located outside your state. It is the student's responsibility to contact the appropriate licensing board in their home state to confirm whether a UU program will meet the requirements for licensure in that state.
