Engineering at EMU

EMU offers Mechanical and Computer Engineering as majors. Engineering students get hands on experience to prepare them for professional careers.

EMU teams place 18th and 48th regionally in international programming contest, besting the top teams from the likes of the University of Richmond, UNC-Charlotte and George Washington University.

A team of Eastern Mennonite University students are the first US team to join an international collaborative project to design an economically viable, hypersonic, 300-passenger aircraft

Engineers for a Sustainable World is a student club that works on sustainable solutions to real-world problems.

Ben Stutzman was one of five STEM students to gain real-world experience through internships this summer at engineering firms. Stutzman worked on a Peeps packaging system project.
