Merritt Penticoff Science Building

This option is intended for students who wish to pursue graduate study in physics, conduct research in physics, and/or teach physics.

JU’s Mechanical Engineering major prepares students to apply the principles and techniques of science and engineering to the design and manufacturing of a product. It combines creativity, knowledge, and analytical tools to complete the difficult task of shaping an idea into reality. Through design projects integrated into the curriculum, JU Mechanical engineers learn how to design and analyze products using the principles of motion, energy, and force, ensuring that their designs are sustainable and environmentally friendly while functioning safely, efficiently, and reliably, all at a competitive cost.

Cybersecurity professionals are responsible for anything from responding to simple hacking threats to complex ransomware attacks. With the demand for this profession at an all-time high, students graduating from this program are able to find jobs right after they graduate. Our graduates are accepting jobs as cybersecurity specialists and information security analysts responsible for the design and operation of computer systems and networks for businesses and government agencies.

JU’s Electrical Engineering major prepares students to design, develop, test, and manage electrical equipment manufacturing. It combines creativity, knowledge, and analytical tools to complete the difficult task of shaping an idea into reality. Through design projects integrated into the curriculum, JU electrical engineers learn how to design, develop, test, and supervise the manufacturing of electrical equipment, such as electric motors, radar and navigation systems, communications systems and power generation equipment.

The JU Computing Science program offers small class sizes in computer labs. This provides students with one-on-one interaction with faculty. The program emphasizes the development of analytical and problem-solving skills, communication, and teamwork – all areas that are highly valued in the industry.

This option is intended for students who wish to teach physics or engineering and/or work in fields related to engineering and physics that do not require a complete set of advanced engineering or physics training such as engineering technologist, lab technician, and sustainability.
