Engineering students at LMU benefit from small class sizes, one-on-one advising, and direct access to faculty.
Courses emphasize project-based learning, laboratory experience, and opportunities to apply engineering concepts in real-world settings such as internships, competitions, and site visits.
At LMU, engineering students learn in a small, supportive environment built around faculty instruction, personalized advising, and hands on experience. From the beginning of the program, students receive guidance in choosing a path, staying on track academically, and preparing for internships, co ops, and future licensure.
All engineering classes and laboratories are taught by faculty who are directly involved in student learning and mentorship. Instruction focuses on applying engineering concepts to real problems while building strong technical and problem solving skills. Students also receive support in finding practical experiences with industry partners and public agencies.
As part of one of the first engineering cohorts, students have opportunities to help establish student organizations such as the American Society of Civil Engineers, Engineers Without Borders, and Tau Beta Pi. These experiences allow students to gain leadership experience, build professional connections, and contribute to the growth of engineering at LMU.

Digging Into Real Engineering: LMU Engineering Students Tackle Hands-On Geotechnical Challenge
February 19, 2026
Before a new building ever rises above ground, civil engineers have to get their hands dirty. That’s exactly what students in the engineering program at Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) did in a recent hands-on geotechnical project that gave them a taste of real-world engineering from start to finish.
