ENGINEERING AT SCRANTON Studying engineering at The University of Scranton will open doors for your successful life and future.

Our education combines hands-on lab experience and practical knowledge with the ethics, writing, public speaking and critical thinking skills that employers and graduate programs seek.

Our Department of Physics and Engineering offers four majors including computer engineering, electrical engineering, engineering management and our newest major, mechanical engineering. You may also complete a 5-year Master of Business Administration (MBA) along with your engineering degree.

Mechanical engineering is the application of engineering, physics and materials science principles to the design, production and operation of mechanical systems. It employs cutting-edge techniques in technology and design to solve engineering problems. This program will be housed in a newly renovated space in Hyland Hall beginning in the 2021-22 academic year. This space will include four laboratories for measurement and instrumentation, manufacturing process, control systems and makerspace/robotics, a classroom, a workshop, a lounge and faculty offices.

Mechanical Engineering Workshop The mechanical engineering workshop will support our undergraduate teaching and research activities. Here you will manufacture complex precision components and prototypes for course and research projects. This facility will be equipped with a variety of metal working machinery and wood working power equipment to enable you to work on design projects and fabricate prototypes for various courses.

It will be equipped with state of the art CNC machine tools, conventional lathes and milling machines, and welding and fabrication equipment, as well as a CAD/CAM package to enhance your design and manufacturing capabilities. Our experienced mechanical workshop technical staff will be available to assist and guide you through all phases of your projects. This includes the design assessment and feasibility, the material selection and the sourcing of associated components.

The electrical and computer engineering majors are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. Electrical engineering is the application of physics and mathematics to the study of photonics and semiconductor devices, sensors, analog and digital electronic circuit design, power generation and delivery, telecommunications, image and signal processing, computer interfacing and robotics. The computer engineering program connects electrical engineering and computer science. It integrates issues of hardware and software and focuses on research, design, development and testing of computer systems and applications. The curricula at Scranton for these programs emphasize design and analysis, using a project-based course structure.

Mechanical engineering will be housed in a newly renovated space in Hyland Hall beginning in the 2021-22 academic year.

Engineering management provides a path to study business, economics, physics and engineering for a management role. This major addresses important marketplace needs for technical expertise along with effective, responsible leadership in a broad range of engineering fields. As a professional, you will be uniquely qualified to bridge the gap between the engineering and business worlds.

THE PRINCETON REVIEW RANKS SCRANTON NO IN THE NATION FOR “BEST SCIENCE LABS.”

OUR STATE-OF-THE-ART LOYOLA SCIENCE CENTER As a Scranton student, you will enjoy state-of-the-art facilities, including our Loyola Science Center. The largest and most sophisticated project in our history, it was featured as a “beacon” for STEM education in Science on Display, a website published by EYP Architecture and Engineering, as a way to highlight their creation of environments to engage more students in the STEM fields.
