Baylor University

The Baylor chapter of Engineers with a Mission returned from Ferrier, Haiti, where they installed solar panels into the community's training center operated by Mission Waco. Eight students and two Baylor professors also repaired wells, painted a house, worshipped at local churches and played with the town's children. Read More

In and Outside of the Classroom

Students work together in teams on projects often. Team building and collaboration with students is a key area of focus. This helps prepare future engineers for the real world challenges that are ahead.

Mechanical engineering professor Dr. Lesley Wright and several staff took a team of engineering students from Baylor – for the first time – to participate in the Baja SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) competition in Burlington, Wisc., over the summer. Read More

Programs

The School of Engineering and Computer Science of Baylor University offers an outstanding undergraduate program with rigorous courses of study in mechanical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, and general engineering with concentrations in environmental, geo-petro, biomedical, and humanitarian engineering. With state of the art research facilities, renowned faculty, and an innovative approach to undergraduate life and leadership development, Baylor engineering programs offer all of the advantages of a large-scale research institution with the personal attention students need to succeed. Students also have the opportunity to participate in a number of professional societies such as IEEE, ASME, and a host of others.

In addition to on-campus classrooms and labs, students and faculty have access to the 300,000 square foot Baylor Research and Innovation Collaborative that fosters and encourages interdisciplinary research by combining faculty laboratories, research testing facilities, offices, and workspace for researchers that span a full range of scientific and technological fields. Engineering students at Baylor also have a unique opportunity to participate in one of Baylor’s living-learning programs at Teal Residential College where engineering students foster community with like-minded students and engineering faculty by seamlessly blending in- and out-of-classroom experiences.

Paired with our low student-to-faculty ratio and opportunities for hands-on projects and research, Baylor’s focus on leadership development and community involvement make our graduates some of the most sought after young professionals in their fields. Student-led initiatives that combine engineering and service on local and international projects and mobilize engineers for discipline-specific service in developing communities around the globe provide our students with real-world training that companies like General Electric, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Shell, Halliburton, AT&T and many more recognize and look for in new hires.

Located in the heart of Texas, the Baylor School of Engineering and Computer Science is uniquely positioned along the 1-35 corridor with direct access to Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. The wide range of undergraduate and graduate degree options at Baylor offers students flexible degree plans, extracurricular and research opportunities, and leadership roles that propel an innovative and transformative engineering career.
