Programs

The Engineering program at Slippery Rock University provides students with a comprehensive education, emphasizing both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Through hands-on projects, industry partnerships, and innovative research opportunities, students are equipped to tackle real-world challenges and achieve career goals. SRU offers four degrees in Engineering: Civil, Industrial and Systems, Mechanical, and Petroleum & Natural Gas Engineering.

These programs meet Pennsylvania requirements. Professional licensure and certification regulations vary by state and you are urged to check with your state licensing board.

Civil Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering at SRU provides students with sound fundamental knowledge in structural engineering, environmental engineering, transportation engineering, geotechnical engineering, and water resources engineering. It also provides students with high-quality training in required professional skills through project-based learning, hands-on learning, experiments, design projects, and internships. The balanced approach between theory and hands-on practice will best prepare students to succeed as practical engineers.

Industrial and Systems Engineering

Industrial engineers optimize complex processes or systems. They work to eliminate waste of time, money, materials, man-hours, machine time, energy and other resources that fail to generate value. The Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) degree at Slippery Rock University is designed to produce highly skilled graduates capable of achieving life-long professional development in an industry that has high demand that will be accelerated by retiring engineers in the profession. The curriculum will provide students with a hands-on, in-depth learning experience covering the major fields of study in ISE, including new, highly-marketable skills such as Six Sigma and sustainability.

Mechanical Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at SRU provides students with the knowledge and skills in the design, testing, and manufacturing of various devices, tools, engines, machines, electromechanical units, and systems. They are also trained in problem-solving skills, math skills, creative design, leadership skills, and communication skills (both verbal and written). A capstone design course in the senior year will integrate all aspects of learning in team-based design projects.

Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (PNGE) degree at Slippery Rock University is designed to produce highly skilled graduates capable of achieving life-long professional development in an industry that is rapidly growing. The curriculum will provide students with a hands-on, in-depth learning experience covering the major fields of study in PNGE, including exploration, production, and transportation of oil and natural gas resources using safe and environmentally friendlier methods.
