Design-Based CurriculumHands-on experience solving real problems from year one

Knowing how to build a product isn't enough. We want you to know how to design products that solve problems, and then build those products.

Our students immerse themselves into this design-based focus while taking core engineering courses to reinforce fundamental engineering concepts necessary to develop feasible, sustainable, and eco-friendly solutions to real problems. 

The entire curriculum assists each student to fulfill their potential by engaging them in experiences where they “learn and apply” and “design and build.” This contrasts with most traditional engineering programs in which students spend their semesters taking math and science prerequisites before they are challenged with real engineering problems. 

The JU Engineering program also distinguishes itself with accessible faculty who all have extensive industry and design experience; typical class sizes range from 10 to 20 students. Students also study the Liberal Arts curriculum requirements, allowing them to explore a wide range of disciplines from economics to philosophy and more. We aim to create the best learning environment for our students and prepare well-rounded engineers ready to solve the challenges facing our communities.

Management 

Engineering managers bridge the gap
between design engineers and business leadership. The Engineering Manager has the technical background to optimally interact with design engineers and the business skills needed to interact with senior business leadership. There is a growing demand for qualified engineering managers with skills in quality control, value engineering, and engineering operations. This program includes options for certifications. This is a unique undergraduate engineering management opportunity in Florida.
