Engineering
A high-quality engineering program at Nebraska’s oldest private university
College of Arts and Sciences
Location: Crete
Degree Type: Undergraduate
Personal attention meets practical opportunities in our accredited undergraduate engineering program specifically designed to give students an edge in industry. At Doane, Nebraska’s oldest private college located near Lincoln, engineering students focus on practice-based learning, which gives them more opportunities to apply classroom knowledge to solving real-world problems. All while working with experienced faculty who care about student success.
Pursue a hands-on Engineering degree and receive a broad education integrated with the liberal arts that includes both technical and professional skills needed for modern engineering practice. Students develop a core foundation of technical engineering, problem solving and design skills - allowing students to complete courses in many different areas and interdisciplinary design projects. Students also take upper-level courses towards specializations that will be listed underneath the Engineering major on their transcript.
Engineering Emphasis Options
Mechanical Engineering
Civil Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Environmental Engineering
General
Develop an understanding in science and math and complement that foundation with the practical skills necessary to find solutions. Our curriculum gives students hands-on experience applying engineering principles to real problems from introductory courses through senior research and engineering design courses - developing critical-thinking strategies. We emphasize project management and quality control techniques that are used in many areas of industry and commerce. Student may also access the Doane Engineering Idea Lab for coursework or their own personal projects. The Engineering program encourages the entrepreneurial spirit and produces ethical problem-solvers, no matter what path chosen after graduation

The Doane Difference
Practical
A focus on practice-based learning, particularly through service projects, allows students more opportunities to apply classroom knowledge to solving problems in the real world.
Personal
Work one-on-one with experienced faculty who care about each student's individual success in the program.
Opportunities
Students are actively involved outside the classroom which enriches their educational experience and develops them into a well-rounded leader.
Engineering Career Information
Students in the Engineering program receive a broad education that includes both technical and professional skills needed for modern engineering practice. Students develop a core foundation of technical engineering, problem solving and design skills cross-cutting all engineering disciplines, take courses in many different areas and engage in interdisciplinary design projects.
The Doane engineering program provides a framework in which students apply engineering and project management principles to various fields, synthesizing knowledge from physical and social sciences, mathematical and scientific reasoning, business and industrial fundamentals, and artistic and cultural relevance.
Doane’s engineering program exposes students to authentic, real-world problems where they collaboratively frame, ideate, propose, implement and evaluate solutions. Students engage in three semester-long design courses and a three-semester capstone project where they're required to self-learn, design, analyze and construct solutions to problems across the multiple industries connected to engineering. Students learn how to critically assess existing and potential technologies. The critical-thinking strategies, project management and quality control techniques they also learn are widely used in many areas of industry and commerce.
