School of Engineering
Welcome
Welcome to the School of Engineering at OC, home to three academic departments: Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Mathematical, Computer and Information Sciences. We live in a technical world. Engineering, computing, and mathematics have become critical areas for those who wish to make contibutions to the future of our society. When coupled with the emphasis on faith-based education, service, and learning at OC, you will be equipped as a sevant leader, ready to accept opportunities and follow paths where God leads you. We are enjoying using the new technology our incoming and most other students have -- a MacBook running both Vista and Mac OS X and an iPhone or iPod touch.
The School of Engineering transforms lives for Christian faith, professional excellence, service, and lifelong learning.

Service Opportunities Blog Site
The mission of OC and that of the School of Engineering includes service to others. We want to use technology to make life better for our neighbor. We have just added a blog site that provides a place where students and faculty can learn about and discuss service opportunities that we have or that we should work to create. Comments from students, faculty, staff, alumni, and others interested in our school are very welcome. This blog has an RSS feed, so if you click on the RSS button in the URL pathname box at the top of your browser, your default RSS reader will let you know whenever a new topic is posted here

Engineering at OC
You no longer have to choose between a world-class engineering program and a Christ-centered education. Oklahoma Christian University offers both. It's as simple as this - if you're a Christian who wants to study engineering, Oklahoma Christian is the place for you. Our faculty have just completed the design of new 128 credit hour curricula for all three engineering degrees. You can check out the new degree requirments under each department's web site. Want to know more? Contact our Engineering Admissions Specialist, Jon Hughes at jon.hughes@oc.edu.

With programs that challenge and inspire, OC Engineering produces graduates who go on to success in business, government, academia, and the church. This "no compromises" attitude includes our approach to faith. OC students and faculty are encouraged to integrate their academic work with their faith and their prayer life. Our curriculum includes 16 credit hours of Bible topics and our faculty base their lives and their educational goals on their faith Jesus Christ. Classes include vigorous discussions about the interplay between faith, science, and academic inquiry. We believe excellence glorifies God - so we don't settle for less.
