Not sure which degree to choose?
JBU engineering students have three semesters to decide which degree to pursue - the B.S.E.E. (Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering) or the B.S.M.E. (Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering).
Learn more about the electrical engineering major.
The most valuable skill I learned at JBU was collaborative problem solving. This includes identifying problems correctly and listening to my teammates in order to develop a solution. I'm leaving JBU with practical problem-solving, research and leadership skills.
