Engineering Studies

Earlham’s new Engineering Studies program is about approaching the messy, complicated problems of our time with a sense of compassion and justice, with more options for electives outside of the engineering discipline.  Allowed you to pursue business, ENSU, or other options to round out your Earlham experience in a way that the engineering degree does not.

Through this program, you will gain the expertise and skills you need to pursue a career in engineering, while benefitting from the perspective-building, life-changing liberal arts education at Earlham provides.  You will expand your knowledge and experience of social, economic and environmental issues. In doing so, you’ll learn how to use engineering to build a better world. 

This program does not meet the requirements to be accredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET), but it will give you the experience and education you need to pursue further education in engineering or work in an engineering related field.
