Engineering Chapel
Each fall, students meet in the Shinn Center for Engineering Chapel. Current students are responsible for the chapel, leading prayer and music. College of Engineering alumni share a message and spend time with students and faculty after worship. Previous topics have included “Count It All Joy” from James 1:2-4.
Weekly breakout engineering chapels are another opportunity for more intimate connection through diverse ways of engaging our spiritual journeys. These groups are led by engineering faculty. Several engineering chapels are offered each week, which provide a supportive and encouraging community where students can build deeper relationships with each other and Christ. Some chapels explore specific topics while others feature varied activities and may include devotionals, prayer requests, and group discussion.
Students in the College of Engineering are required to take a class in Engineering Ethics.
This class is an examination of the philosophical and (implicit) theological framework undergirding the use and development of technology, as it particularly relates to the engineering sciences. The course will pay significant attention both to questions of “the good,” and to more concrete questions of application. The course will also have a component that requires students to become familiar with codes of professional ethics in their respective fields of study.
The Peugeot Center equips engineering students and professionals in applying faith-motivated, sustainable engineering solutions in developing communities.
The Peugeot Center seeks to foster holistic missions through engineering projects where students and professionals work together for the glory of God. The Raymond B. Jones College of Engineering has been doing this since 2004, and the Peugeot Center will carry this work even further. Whether it’s a stove for a family in Guatemala, a bridge between two schools in Honduras or a water delivery system for a Christian camp in the Dominican Republic, the projects supported by the center make a difference in the lives of people in developing communities.
These projects also offer students the chance to experience a world different from their own and learn what it takes to be an engineer outside the classroom. Students lead the projects, work on design and testing of projects, and many travel to the country to construct or install the finished product themselves. Projects come and go and change constantly. But they change lives, both the lives of those for whom they are designed and the lives of those who design them.
