Associate of Engineering

Internships

Through the DBU Associate of Engineering program, students have the opportunity to meet with an advisor individually to help think through internship options and decide the best course of action. DBU works to create experiences and pipelines to equip students with the connections they need to be successful. Students also have the opportunity to learn through sponsored visits to schools. Touring with other students and professors can give a new perspective as well as provide ways to get to know other students in your field of interest.

DBU provides students with a Christ-centered learning environment that allows them the opportunity to grow spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and socially while they pursue their academic and professional calling. While unapologetically a Christ-centered University, DBU welcomes all students who desire to become engineers to come and learn in an environment that will prepare them for their life’s goals. The students at DBU can get to know their professors and be mentored by professionals in their field. The preparation for engineering school at DBU will provide an environment for the students to understand and adopt the life of service to society and learn to lead in the fields of their calling. This servant leadership model of academic and professional preparation will equip the students with problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, and social interaction skills.

Dallas Baptist University is located in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, where engineering is practiced daily in the areas of mechanical, electrical, biomedical, computer, civil, chemical, and materials engineering. Industry, medical complexes, manufacturing facilities, retail, research, consulting, and education institutes are prevalent in the metroplex. The location of these facilities makes it practical to develop partnerships, internships, and experiential learning.

The Associate of Engineering degree was developed to further the scope of influence of the mission of DBU and to establish Christ-centered servant leaders in the area of engineering.

Students in the Associate of Engineering program at DBU will conduct some of their lab work off-campus and in manufacturing and industrial settings and will receive instruction from and work with professionals in the manufacturing industry. Communication is important in the engineering profession and while serving others. DBU students are taught the importance of teamwork and to have excellent speaking, listening, visual, and interpersonal skills. This skill set will enhance their ability to serve others, work as a member of a team, and understand and implement the needs of their employer. Dallas Baptist University offers a fresh look to a demanding and proven profession that serves humanity through service and leadership.
