Engineers are problem solvers. Within the Raymond B. Jones College of Engineering students will learn to apply their skills in science and mathematics in combination with creativity to invent, design, build, test, operate, and maintain engineering systems that meet the needs of society. In the latter half of the 20th century, engineers developed the personal computer, the space shuttle, artificial hearts, cellular phones, and many other “high-tech” products that have improved the quality of life. The opportunities to use technology for the benefit of 21st century society will be even greater.

 

The Raymond B. Jones College of Engineering provides students with an excellent opportunity to prepare for an exciting engineering career in an educational environment that encourages Christian character and spiritual growth. In creating this opportunity for students, Ray and Libby Jones have built upon the original goals of Lipscomb University that “such other branches of learning may be added as will promote usefulness and good citizenship among men.” In keeping with that goal, graduates of the Raymond B. Jones College of Engineering will be challenged to use their engineering education for the betterment of society, their profession, and their faith community.

 

The Raymond B. Jones College of Engineering consists of the following academic departments: Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, and in our School of Computing, the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering and the Department of Cybersecurity and Information Technology. The College offers eight majors that lead to a Bachelor of Science degree from Lipscomb University. In addition to Lipscomb’s SACSCOC accreditation that covers all eight programs, three of those undergraduate engineering degrees (mechanical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, and civil engineering), are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, http://www.abet.org. The remaining five degrees (Computer Science, Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Interdisciplinary Engineering) each address specific needs in their associated fields.

 

In 2022, the university established the School of Computing within the Raymond B. Jones College of Engineering. The new school offers real-world curriculum, equipment, and resources for future software developers and cyber-defenders, and also offers the following graduate programs:
