Students engage passions in summer research projects
At Augustana College, summer isn't just a break from classes — it's a perfect time for cutting-edge research and academic exploration.
The college offers an innovative Engineering (Bachelor of Science) program at a liberal arts institution, with focuses in mechanical, civil, and environmental and sustainability engineering.
This program is multidisciplinary so students will be exposed to physics, mathematics and engineering, while incorporating ethics, humanities and social sciences.
Note: Augustana's engineering students use a software program called Autodesk Inventor. See the system requirements for Autodesk Inventor 2025.
